Description (guaranteed):
I always want to own a piece of jade carving boy. However, nowaday, a good quality and real antique jade boy is quite expensive, especially for Ming dynasty boy. These two boys were found at Mr. Wu's shop. Very cute. The bigger boy is from Qing Dynasty, righ hand holding the ganoderma lucidum, left hand grab the lucky bag, hanging the golden pendant in the middle of chest, smiling handsomely, with good fortune and happiness. The smaller boy is from Ming Dynasty, even it¡¦s small, but the carving is very solid, both hands holding the ganoderma lucidum, very obvious rough Ming style carving. Some one said this smaller boy is made by the jade center which means the unused center of the jade after carving to a ring or other article.
I really think both boys are very cute, and I could string them together as a pair, two white jade little boys, how lovely. The owner generously gave me some beads so that I can match them with my jade boys, but I would like to get some more good quality coral, crystal, or amber to make them even more valuable.
I was a little concern about the bigger boy's authentic. I took the piece and asked several experts. They all said this boy has no question be an old piece. I am so happy, and finally own jade boys. |
