<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 4399824, member: 8363&quot;]I stopped by an estate sale today - big mistake.&nbsp; The former owner was a world-travelled collector.&nbsp; Luckily, I got there late on the second day.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t pass up these white jade figures in a shadow box, though, so I need your help in discovering what they are and if they have any age. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the figures are Chinese as I recognize the symbols.&nbsp; There are words at the top that I can&#039;t interpret.&nbsp; While the presentation does not lend itself to see the translucency, I am hoping they are white jade, but I don&#039;t know the quality.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is a very large piece measuring almost 3 ft by 3 feet (30 inches by 31 inches).&nbsp; I have no idea where it will go in my house.&nbsp; The jade figures are approximately 10 inches tall.&nbsp; The width of the box is 2 inches, and the figures take up most of that space.&nbsp; The bottom of the figures are almost 7 inches of white jade each.&nbsp; The top figures are glued on. </p><p><br /></p><p>I included the back, which is covered in a velvet type of material.&nbsp; Pictures were difficult because of the glass. I apologize for their poor quality.&nbsp; The estate sellers had no information, but the place was jammed packed with beautiful treasures.&nbsp; Any help would be sincerely appreciated.&nbsp; I hope I didn&#039;t throw my money away.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]371955[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371956[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371967[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371969[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371973[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371975[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
