with pleasure I only do with my little skills.
this is a very complicated matter in which our Western experts have difficulty in understanding. jade is cultural, it's difficult when you haven't been in it when you are young. for me the hardest part and even still is to determine if the jade is exceptional or not. which helps well to spot the real antique jades because one should not forget that the emperors were the equivalent of the king and wanted the rarest and the most beautiful. especially for jades prior to the hans. because even the notables were not.
do not hesitate to contact experts in asia, they are very cordial and have all answered me in detail, they have given me a lot.
something else that I keep in mind: the jade was ceremonial had to sparkle in the light of the oil lamps, what is also important is that they were polished at the beginning with garnet powder and other so-called precious hard stones, the aspect is specific. an expert once also told me to look at the crowns and the larger areas of polish, the current tools create flats and cut angles which are much more limited now than when the carving was manual the lines created bite the stone less.
kind regards
good continuation
maybe one day you will be able to give me your opinion do not hesitate
cordially
