"Three parts material, seven parts workmanship", do you really know how to judge jade carving...

Jade flower pieces can be said to be the perfect example of the saying “jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved”, and “three parts material and seven parts workmanship” is the best interpretation of it by insiders. It should be noted that for a fine jade flower piece, the required jade carver should not only be well versed in jade carving techniques, but also need to form his own unique aesthetics. At the same time, he should be able to "select materials according to the material and apply art according to the material". He can not only add the icing on the cake of jade, but also turn decay into magic!

Therefore, to judge the quality of a jade work, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the work's design innovation, carving craftsmanship, and modeling style in order to draw a conclusion.

When purchasing, pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Whether the appearance is coordinated.

That is, observe whether the length and width ratio of the jade is appropriate, and whether the thickness is appropriate. If it is a figure or animal, you also need to pay attention to its charm and whether it is vivid and lifelike.

2. Whether the subject matter has a good meaning.

Jade carving must follow the rules that "the jade must be well-crafted, the craftsmanship must have meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious", so before buying, you can ask the store whether the meaning of the jade is beautiful and auspicious, and whether it fits your vision.

3. Whether the lines are smooth.

The artistic conception of jade flower pieces is presented through the sense of lines of jade carvings. Simple and clear lines often make the work more dynamic; otherwise, they will make the work dull and rigid.

4. Whether the color is used appropriately.

Skillful carving of colors often tests the jade carver's carving skills and innovation ability. It is particularly important to use it reasonably to achieve the effect of adding the finishing touch rather than adding unnecessary details.

5. Check whether the polishing is intact.

Polishing is the last step in jade carving, which has a great impact on the finished jade product. Jade that is well polished is smooth and clean, lustrous and transparent, and looks charming; while jade that is not perfectly polished feels poor and has an uneven surface.

To sum up, for jade flower pieces, jade material is important, but jade craftsmanship is even more critical!
