Subject:3 vintage/Antique Mutton Fat Jade Figures
Posted By: susizett Mon, Oct 22, 2018 IP: 73.91.207.145

I'm not sure but I believe this set is called mutton fat jade. 3" figures and one fish.I tried the scratch test and it didn't leave a mark.Cold to the touch, appears to be translucent in light, has just a hint of light green without light,pictures were taken outside in the sun.There's one figure holding a baby,never came across one holding a baby.I would love some information

Mutton fat? Nephrite.. no
This is a very translucent light green Burmese Jadeite,
please take photos in a darker surrounding so that one can see the true outlines of the figures, Take several pics, from all sides.

Good evening, in view of the images it is not jade it is less transparent in quality celadon, moreover the quality of the sculpture in Pati suffers since the stone is more tender the drawing can be less precise

Thanks
