Subject:Estimate Value of Carved Jade Mazu Statue
Posted By: Gil Mon, Oct 22, 2012 IP: 42.65.189.203
Hi,
I own the following Chinese carved jade Mazu statue and would appreciate an opinion about its value.

The statue is 29cm high, 15cm wide and weighs 4.5Kg.
I do not know how old it is.

Thank you, Gil

This item is most likely from this Century. It has been treated with acids and color to make it look old. You have to do a scratch test to see if it is Jade.

Hi Ernest,
I did the scratch test and it appears to be Jade.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Regards, Gil
