FAQs

In Chinese art, representations of young boys symbolise fertility, good fortune, and the continuation of family lineage, often depicted holding symbolic objects such as lotus leaves, fish, or birds.

Historic Chinese carvings typically utilise nephrite or jadeite stone, valued for varying translucency, toughness, and range of mineral colours from pale celadon to deep spinach green.

Authentic hand-carved jade shows microscopic tool marks, soft wear around raised edges, natural mineral fissures, and cold thermal conductivity compared to glass or resin imitations.

A small jade figure works well displayed on a dark wooden base, inside a glazed cabinet, or placed as part of a vignette on a shelf alongside art books.

Clean jade using a soft microfibre cloth and lukewarm water with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and sudden temperature changes.
