who can do evaluations like these posted here for a fee. I have listed several items here and frankly with out offending anyone the process is slow and sometimes I dont even get responses. Again I am not trying to offend anyone I just need info faster thats all. I know the site is free but I need info faster and I am willing to pay..please help

Ivan you aren't going to find anyone on this site who can authenticate many different types of items, and I very much doubt that people willing to do so will be satisfied with a couple of photos only. It's important to be able to see the pieces themselves.

That said, I can help with Chinese paintings, and also perhaps a few other categories where I can distinguish genuine from fake if you don't need a specific date assigned to the piece. Can't help you with jade/hardstones though.

Well I really appreciate your response and will keep your name on file for scrolls or paintings. I have posted further down a pewter item that no one has been able to give me any information not even the translation of the character.

I can look a the Jade and hardstones

how much will you charge me for a quick evaluation on hard stones. to include origin age and theme the piece might have

There are no set prices in this field. First of all, I said I'll look at the items, and then we can talk. My specialty is Jade.

Try an auction house with a good Asian Dept.
