Re: jade censer |

Message Hi, David: I do not believe your piece was made of real jade (nephrite or jadeite) and you can confirm by doing a scratch test on it (scratch it with a pocket knife and see what happens). It was probably made of some types of soft stone such as serpentine. Its carving was kind of horrific (sorry) and therefore I believe it is modern. I sincerely hope you did not pay a fortune for it and or can get your money back if you did. Again, no pun intended. Post a Response |
