Subject:Help translating the label on jade carving case
Posted By: Taylor Sun, Jul 25, 2021 IP: 162.253.50.222 I have a large case of jade statues. There are 3 females and 5 male figurines that were carved out of a lighter color jade. There are two wood stands that 4 figurines sit on each. The case or box is blue fabric that secures closed with two small pieces of ivory or bone. The case has a label on one side that I can’t read. |

Posted By: Mark Adams Sun, Aug 01, 2021 The post by Pei is nonsense and misleading based purely on the images. Pei is is making assumptions based on writing on the side of the box! |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Sun, Aug 01, 2021 Compare the color in the photo with the carving. Is it the the same, or is one a darker green. |

Posted By: Super Fri, Sep 17, 2021 These are modern eight-mortals "jade" carvings that were made for tourists. Made of xiu yu that is serpentine, not jadeite or nephrite and can be scratched. |
