This piece is from the collection of Japanese carved Jadeite that i have become known for. it is the finest quality Jadeite, natural, un-dyed, un-bleached, un-treated and un-enhanced in coloration. the majority of the pieces in this collection are "new-old-stock" inventory (although there have been instances where pieces have been found to be signed, which has allowed them to be dated much, much older than the collection they came with). Whether they are sample carvings, spec carvings or actual production pieces is hard to tell, but the majority of them, such as this piece, are definitely ONE OF A KIND due to theme, carving, stone quality and natural colorations.
This item is sold from an excellent, highly rated vintage boutique in Times Square, N Y C.
