Hello everyone,
I am finally going to China this August for an entire month and while I'm there I would like to buy a lot of jade. I'll be going to Shanghai, Xian, Nanjing, and many other places that are all fairly well known for their extensive markets. I was wondering if anyone here could give me suggestions. Of course I realize that most all antiques in these markets, unless from a highly reputable dealer, are fakes, but I have been a collector for many years and hopefully will not make too many unfortunate purchases.
If anyone has some suggestions as to specific vendors, please let me know. Also, does anyone know the price range for nice jade in China? I'm talking 19th, 18th century pieces. The really nice pieces I find I want to add to my collection, but I plan on reselling a lot in the US. Suggestions with this last question would be VERY appreciated (I have never bought jade in China before).
Thank you very much in advance!
