Hi, Anita:

Welcome back. Your concerns regarding these fanatasy pieces matching what I said in the link:

(1) They do not look like they were made of white Hetian jades. The owners of these discs never declare them as authentic or what dynasty they are. If they were indeed made of cheap serpentine jades or low qaulity green nephrite jades, they most likely could not be archaic jades. There is no such test which can confirm Hetian jade by physical properties alone. Reject, yes; but not in confirming as claimed by the owner.

(2) If such pieces are indeed archaic or authentic, how in the world would they be allowed to be exported out of China since they are more than 125 years old. They will be worth a lot more in China.

(3) There are always special functions and purposes for all Chinese jade carvings, mostly for religious purposes. What are these discs and what are their purposes or functions? Nobody including the owner can tell. Why there are no similar pieces anywhere?

The "T & J Jade School" also said those jade experts in BIG auctions houses cannot be trusted in authenticating and dating these fantasy pieces. So who can they trust.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions.

Bill
