Please read the whole description!

On offer is a Chinese late Qing/ Early Republican Period (1890 - 1930) Apple Green Jade/ Hardstone statue of Guan Yin. It is approximately 11.5cm long, 6 cm wide  and 38 cm tall. In this example Guan Yin is depicted holding a flower as is the case with similar examples. Covered with Gilt lacquer which is a technique that was used by the Chinese for many centuries. With regards to the material , this is not Jadeite. Judging by the smoothness and feel, it feels like Hetian Jade but cannot be 100% confident, as there are types of Hardstone that would resemble this colour. I haven't tested it, so cannot make any claim. It doesn't really matter, as this statue looks very impressive anyway. And such a tall statue is not your everyday occurrence on eBay...

Condition Report:   This statue is in excellent condition throughout with no blemishes! The predominant colour is the Apple Green, which is considered the second best after the Imperial Green. The colour is very uniform with only slight variations. That is where the colour is visible! Since the vast majority of this statue is covered with Gilt lacquer, I cannot know what the colour is below that lacquer layer... There is some loss to the lacquer , but only minimal and that is absolutely normal. No chips or cracks to any part of the statue.

Remarks : I have priced it taking into account this is hardstone. Such tall statue is very much worth the price tag. If this is proven to be Hetian Jade of this colour, then the " fair price" is pretty much 2 - 2.5 times that. If not way more! If you have wanted such a statue, I suggest you act fat on this example. For this price tag, chances are, you will not get a better one...I previously had offers enabled on this item, but I have now reduced the priced to the absolutely minimum I am willing to accept for it. So that means, no offers will be considered for this item.  

Should you need any additional info, please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. I would be very happy to assist you. Please study the photos provided as they form part of the description.   What you see is what you get!

IMPORTANT!!!  A few things about me and my listings for art pieces. I am in no way an expert or claim to be one. Whether you believe it or not my interest started from Traditional Japanese razors (Kamisoris) and Natural Sharpening stones (Toishi) and quickly expanded to anything Japanese related really and absolutely fell in love it! Then expanded to Chinese art pieces as well. I am registered with over 100 auction houses here in the U.K. and this is where I source these items that I offer, alongside a select few that I source here on eBay. I have learnt the hard way, how auction houses can give wrong and in many cases deceitful descriptions. Hence ,I have sought the expertise of a Native Japanese speaking Accredited Art Appraiser with nearly 3 decades of experience. He visits me every few months (I am sorry I cannot afford more frequent visits) and advises me on my collection and new acquisitions. I use his guidance alongside the description of accredited auctioneers to describe my lots and in line with similar known examples. Of course mistakes can occur and I will take full responsibility if that happens. If you are qualified to do so and you spot an alleged error in my listing, then please let me know.  BUT, you have to be in a position to do so, i.e. you are a Certified Art Appraiser registered with an Appropriate Body or an Accredited Auctioneer in Art and have professional knowledge . If that is the case then please kindly introduce yourself to me and inform me of this error. According to the severity of the error, I will either make changes or delist the item.  However,  if you are just another "dealer" or a self proclaimed "expert" and you know everything better   than me and can  outperform me and my Art Appraiser in every simple possible way  (OF COURSE YOU CAN!!!),  then I would like to state that your "expertise" is  neither requested nor is welcome!  I guess my "expertise" about Triden t is not needed by the British Government... Please fell free to follow eBay's procedure and report my item as "fake" , "Replica" or whatever else you think. I will be more than happy to provide evidences of it being a genuine item or of an age described.  Every item  I offer can be successfully linked with an item sold by an accredited U.K. auctioneer with a relevant invoice, or if it is eBay sourced a similar example auctioned. If , however, and despite this notice you message me and you try to "teach "me and prove your superior knowledge , then I would like to let you know that I have a  ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY  on nonsense! You will be reported to eBay and face the consequences , which may include suspension of your account. The eBay marketplace is  NOT  the place to get feisty or pursuit your own hidden agenda!

Just because you THINK  or even better the person running your local shop selling "The Sun" alongside chocolates has "deemed" one of my items as "Fake" , "Replica" or whatever else, that doesn't mean I will accept your request! You have to prove that my photos haven't depicted the item correctly or have an accredited person  (such as one I have described above) after physical inspection  (per industry standards) to deem an item as of "inappropriate" description (for whatever reason really including wrong dating on a genuine item). Then I will be more than happy to accept returns and this is my guarantee to any person buying art pieces from me , even after years  of the original sale. I keep detailed records and I am in position to know.
