Although the carving of jade articles in Qing dynasty followed the traditional methods of intaglio, relief and engraving, there were many developments and innovations on this basis. In the mid-Qing Dynasty, not only the court jades were exquisite in workmanship and numerous in quantity, but also the scale and quantity of folk jades and jades were not inferior to those of the court jades. Therefore, many folk jade carving masters and famous craftsmen have emerged. At present, in the domestic jade market, although there are royal jade in Qing dynasty, the quantity is very small, but the folk jade is very large. Generally speaking, the jade crafts in Qing Dynasty are exquisite, especially the carving of jade ornaments, antique jade and jade ornaments. The jades of this period, whether large or small, whether in shape or decoration, are very exquisite in workmanship.
This is a jade article in the middle of Qing Dynasty. This kind of jade itself is not very white, it should be called sapphire. If this jade is white, the price may be far more than 80 thousand yuan. When we judge the quality of jade, it is very important to see whether this jade itself has impurities, and this jade work basically has no impurities, so I say it is a very good and clean blue and white jade. What about the work itself? It has skin before and after, and the skin itself shows that it is a real seed material. So, because of the seed itself, what is it? It's purple sapphire, so the price is not very high. So this work, today, now, the price of this raw material is basically between 40 thousand and 50 thousand, plus its better sculpture and historical age, so the price given by the expert appraisal team is 80 thousand yuan.
