Chinese Antique Hand Carved Nephrite Spinach Green Nephrite Jade Dragon Statue. This is one of my favorite jade pieces I’ve come across recently. It was acquired at an estate sale with several other pieces of very high end Asian antiques. Jade is very healthy and has excellent shape with a good waxy luster and has light penetration expected with spinach jade. Certified natural spinach green nephrite jade. Passed gemological tests for hardness and density. Provenance of this item places its origin in China. Few pieces exemplify Chinese spinach jade hard carvings like this. This is a very dense and heavy piece of jade with gorgeous detail. Pieces like this do not see auctions in the west very often. My appraiser believes this is “type A” jade but without sending the piece to one of only a few jade labs in the world it’s impossible to tell with certainty, even with his experience and gem testing equipment. Feel free to send your best offer! The worst I can say is, no. Let’s make a deal! Length: 14.5 cm long. Height: 7.5 cm tall. Width: 2 cm wide. Antique carving has some natural aging but is very healthy. No cracks or other blemishes. If you have any questions or need additional photographs please let me know!
