<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 445521, member: 8363"]This jade paperweight joined my miscellaneous oddments today by virtue of an online auction. It is 3 3/4 inch long and 2 1/2 wide and 1 1/4 high. It was carved from one piece of grayish-greenish jade with some brown spots. What may not be obvious from the photos is that it is highly polished. I believe the subject is a coiled dragon. The entire surface is carved including the flat bottom. My question for you, my friends, is it an antique? It was advertised as such in the auction and it had a tag - Rosenstein Antiques.
