Chinese Jade Objects for Sale in the UK

Browse current UK listings for Chinese jade objects, from pendants and bi discs to scholar’s ornaments, brush washers, censers and ink wells. Prices in the examples range from £25 to over £500, so compare the object’s material description, dimensions, carving and condition rather than relying on age claims alone. Check photographs for chips, cracks, repairs, wear and uneven colour, and ask sellers whether jadeite or nephrite has been identified. Review marks, provenance, completeness and UK delivery terms before buying.

What to Look For

Check the jade’s dimensions and weight against the photographs, particularly for pendants, bi discs, censers and scholar objects, as scale can be difficult to judge online. Ask whether the piece is jadeite, nephrite or another stone, and request details of any testing or identification; colour alone is not conclusive. Inspect close-up images for chips, hairline cracks, scratches, drilled holes and edge wear. On carved vessels, check feet, handles, lids and pierced areas for repairs or replacements. Look for clear photographs of the underside and any inscriptions or marks, without assuming they prove age. Confirm whether the asking price includes a stand, and check UK delivery, insurance and returns.

Buying Tips

Compare Chinese jade objects by material, workmanship, dimensions and condition rather than title alone. Ask sellers to clarify whether an item is jadeite, nephrite or another stone, and check close photographs for chips, hairline cracks, drilled holes, repairs and worn detail. Look for clear images of all sides, bases and any marks. Confirm measurements, weight and completeness, especially for censers or scholar objects. Before buying in the UK, check postage, insurance, import arrangements where applicable, packaging and the seller’s returns policy.
