How do I clean a jade sculpture?

Dust gently with a soft, dry artist's brush or a microfiber cloth to remove surface particles. Avoid chemical cleaning agents, ultrasonic baths, or soaking pieces that incorporate fitted hardwood bases.

Can I display these carvings in direct sunlight?

Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can warm the mineral and potentially dry out historic organic mounting elements or patinated surfaces. Position pieces in ambient light away from south-facing windows and direct heat sources.

What is a scholar's desk ornament?

These functional and contemplative objects were created for educated elites in traditional China to inspire poetry, meditation, and quiet study. Forms include brush washers, water birds, and small figural groups meant to be handled frequently during quiet contemplation.

How do I tell nephrite from jadeite?

Nephrite presents an oily, greasy lustre with a dense, felted internal structure that resists direct light penetration. Jadeite often reveals a crystalline, granular texture with brighter vitreous reflectivity and greater translucency.
