What is porcelain jadeite? Why is porcelain-bottom jadeite said to have no value?

There are many professional terms in the jade industry, such as water quality, texture, water head, etc., which are often encountered and are also the jade terms that everyone is more familiar with. However, there are also some terms that we don’t usually come into contact with, such as the porcelain-bottom jade that we are going to talk to you about today in the "Jade Encyclopedia"!

What is porcelain jadeite

In layman's terms, porcelain bottom refers to the bottom of jadeite that is like porcelain, with a grayish white base color, which appears extremely rigid, opaque or slightly transparent. Its name comes from its porcelain-like texture, which is infinitely close to ordinary stone.

The color of the porcelain base is mainly white, and the green on it is often thin, shallow, without extension, and not blended with the species. It is just scattered on a single surface. Without considering the quality of the species, the combination of white base and green surface, with green set off by white, is a unique decoration for me.

Why is porcelain-bottom jade not valuable?

Porcelain-bottom jadeite is obviously low-grade jadeite because of its poor quality and relatively coarse crystals, just like porcelain! Poor quality of water results in a complete loss of beauty, coarse crystal grains lead to opacity, and the overall appearance is dry, without the lively texture of jadeite.

Most of them are made into bracelets and sold, and the market price is about 100 yuan. It is commonly known as "brick material" in the industry. This kind of jade is naturally worthless. Of course, there are also unscrupulous businessmen who like to buy porcelain-bottom jadeite, optimize it by acid washing and fill it with glue, and then sell it as A-grade jadeite!

Porcelain-bottom jade is a kind of jade that is infinitely close to stone. Most of these products are not expensive and have poor appearance, but they are very common in the market. The first jade that many people buy may be such porcelain-bottom jade. But don't mind it. Practice and learn slowly. Once you learn how to distinguish, you won't be fooled next time.
