[QUOTE="'Nuff_Said, post: 11671, member: 181"]It's hard to tell from your image, but here's my thoughts. Don't write them down in stone... Your item is Chinese and appears to be white or a very pale-celadon jade, of an immortal standing next to a deer and vase, seated within its original hand carved fitted wood stand. It's carved pretty well and probably has some age to it (pre-1950). It's also hard to tell from your image weather your piece is made of sh!t jade, or of a very high quality piece of jade ([I]judging jade is similar to judging diamonds. There are sh!t diamonds similar to those being sold at your local K-Mart or Walmart jewelry counter. Then there's very high quality diamonds similar to those being sold by De Beers or Harry Winston[/I]). Unfortunately, this judgment cannot be made by internet images alone. It needs to be in the hands of a professional experienced in the field of Asian art. This is the ONLY way you're going to receive the proper evaluation of your item. As far as value..... it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. From my experience: sh!t jade will bring you sh!t money. An antique high quality piece of jade can fetch five to six-figures or more..... Good luck with it. Nice piece![/QUOTE]
