Are you sure it is jade? Do you mean jade color? It almost looks like ceramic. Can we see a picture of its bottom? Thanks.

My friend
That is a nice souvenir from Asia, but is is man-made material, not Jade!

The Merlion is the emblem for the Singapore Touriost Board and has been used since 1964. The word "Singapore" is clearly stamped near the base.

Bill is probably right that it is ceramic.
