    I found this at an estate sale. It is out of my realm but this really caught my eye. It is very heavy and slick. What do you all think? INV215 (1).jpg INV215 (3).jpg INV215 (5).jpg INV215 (6).jpg INV215 (7).jpg

    With that lovely color, I can see why it caught your eye!

    Stone? (I don't know what kind, but someone else will be along.) Spittoon shape?

    It is stone, very slick and cool to the touch. No seams or bubbles.
    It measures 3" x 2"

    Serpentine incense burner, Chinese. You put sand inside and place three joss sticks vertically, then light them.

    I think you are right since they are saying for incense. Possibly jadeite? Too shallow for spittoon.

    well here comes the big question. This item is beautiful and the color is amazing, but is it also valuable?

    that is a relative term.. see if you can find another, try eBay search for jade or stone incense burner or censer.
