Subject:Help Determining Authenticity- Chinese Jade Buddha
Posted By: Kimberly Mon, Jun 27, 2016 IP: 73.35.27.15 Hello! I am hoping you all can help point me in the right direction. My parents passed away and I have been going through their things over the past year. I have come across this Chinese Buddha that I am unsure if it is actually Jade. My parents were art collectors, but this piece is unfamiliar. It is heavy, cool and does scratch metal. What else should I look for to determine? Thank you in advance for your help! |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Sat, Jul 23, 2016 This looks like a modern carving, and if you did the hardness test correctly, it may well be jade. The color rendition is bad.. take several sharp pictures in daylight, not in sunlight. |
