Re: Jade cong - Age? Quality? |
Posted By: Scott Alexander Posted Date: Dec 02, 2015 (02:32 PM) |
Message Hello Tim - You've found some good sources to support the thinking that this is a true Liangzhu cong, especially the piece from the Christies' auction, which does look strikingly similar to yours. Of course, finding such a piece in a second hand store would be like winning the lottery (not to say it couldn't happen). You should definately print out hard-copies of your supporting evidence, and if you do discuss with an expert for authentication, share your findings. Here are some other links which folks might find interesting: SOURCES on LIANGZHU and ARCHAIC CHINESE JADES ============================================= [1] Real or Fake Jades http://hoffmanjade.com/real_or_fake_figs.html) [2] China: Ancient Culture, Modern Land, edited by Robert E.
