Subject:Re: Carved Ebony walking stick
Posted By: Clark Wed, Jul 11, 2018 Jim from Oz, thank you for the reply, yesTrobriand island, png absolutely and a few hundred at best, many lesser carved examples for much less although I know little of the fine points on objects like this. Seems the auction house was accurate about what it was just a little overly excited as they seem available. I also brought them some exceptional hetian jade as a test and they had no idea, so didn't trust them with info on my other items. |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Thu, Jul 12, 2018 About the Hetian Jade, why not put some high quality pictures into this forum. |

Posted By: Clark Thu, Jul 12, 2018 Hi Jim, sorry for the misunderstanding, I didn't post the hetian here for info as I know exactly what it is, This was just a piece of jade i brought to the auction house in person and they were clueless. |

Posted By: Clark Mon, Jul 16, 2018 Ernest, hi and sorry for missing your name on the previous reply I can only claim ignorance as my defense. I thought perhaps you might be interested in my friends work, or at least know of it since you love jade. Her name is Yu Wai Li, she's a writer and story teller more than a jade authority and her books are about the people and inspiration for their work. Each book showcases carvers from different areas in mainland china and all of the carvings are made from I think some of the finest material available. I'm no jade expert either, but I have spent years lucky enough to touch and hold some nice jade as well as the fakes and junk in the shops and jade markets across China and see the streets stained with dye from treating jade and fake stone in the factory's nearby. All that said I never trust my eye alone if real money is involved and thank experts such as yourself for sharing your experience. Getting back to the books, unfornatuly there is no English translation as of yet, I did see some of them listed on Amazon a few years back and one of the jade markets in China had some counterfeit copies (imagine that), but I'm not sure how available they are outside of China. |
