    I saw this at an auction and immediately loved it, but I'm not sure it will be worth the price. Can I have some opinions, please. Only one picture available

    I’m so pleased you like it to. The initial bid is $70 and the estimate is $150
    - $250.

    Since they don't show detailed photos (cut marks), it is almost impossible to tell if itis antique, vintage, or more recent. But even if it is not antique, I'd say it is a reasonable estimate. It is nephrite jade, has that nice soft almost mellow look.

    That’s what I thought. I expanded the photo but couldn’t tell the type of carving and it could be new and hand carved. I’ll keep you apprised.

    Thank you so much for all your comments and taking the time to make them. While some of the time I feel confident about my selections, this time I wanted to make sure I wasn't blinded by love. :kiss:
