What to Look For

Examine the carving from several angles and compare the photographs with the seller’s dimensions. Check the dragon’s body, claws, horns, openwork and thin projections for chips, cracks, losses or filled repairs. Ask whether the piece has been polished, reshaped, drilled or mounted, and request clear images of the reverse, edges and any drilled hole. “Jade” may refer to different materials, so look for a specific identification of nephrite or jadeite and treat unsupported claims cautiously. Inspect the surface for consistent wear, tool marks and color, while remembering that appearance alone does not establish age. Confirm completeness, stand or fittings, return terms, insurance and shipping protection before buying.

Buying Tips

When comparing Chinese jade dragon carvings, check dimensions and weight as well as the stated material, since listings may describe jade, nephrite, celadon jade, or simply a jade-like stone. Study every photograph for chips, cracks, drilled holes, replaced fittings, polishing, and edge wear. Ask whether the carving is solid, assembled, or mounted, and request close-ups of marks and surfaces when needed. Confirm what is included, then review shipping protection, insurance, return terms, and whether the seller’s description supports any age or attribution claims.
