    Help, could this possibly be jade? The coloring is throwing me off. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Bottom seems like a white coating instead of a blade cut mark on resin which I don't think it is. bu1.jpg bu2.jpg bu3.jpg bu4.jpg

    It doesn't look like jade, but it is nicely made. It looks like resin, but could be something else man made. Does it feel cold, like some kind of ceramic?

    Nope, tried scratch test, left line but not gouged, more on the surface.

    Better pic of the bottom if you can. It appears to be decorational use. It appears to be some type of modern coating on the outside to make it shiny. The material looks to be some type of hard plastic. Dont think its old.

    Cold could mean ceramic, did the scratch test reveal that it has some kind of glaze?

    Figured out what it is, solid ceramic/porcelain statue with a perfect celadon glaze and it measures 11" height.
