Hello All

I was given a large Bi disc as a gift about 20 years ago when I was living in Hong Kong. It is about 28cm in diameter. I have no idea if it is old or new. Any ideas? I have never cleaned or polished it. The stand fits like a glove and follows the contours of the dragons in relief.

Thanks.

I will go along with 20 years old. Very old pieces just do not look like this!!!I think the Chinese call those fritters.

Obvious modern reproduction that can be easily found at tourist antique streets in HK. The material is definitely not Chinese nephrite, probably a little or no value random stone.
