Purchased this one this week on eBay and tracking says it's in town but depends on postal carrier weather I get it today or Monday. Was real good price because listed as soapstone which is the same thing only Shoushan stone collectors are not generally watching soapstone listings. has a couple scratches, looks old for a shoushan, Large 10" and has writing on a scroll. Carved with designs both sides. Anyone know what it says?
Thanks Jim, looks like two peaches, don't know till mail shows up. Tracking says it is in town but might not show up till Monday. Less then a carton of cigarettes. Sure glad I quit both smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol or I would be broke all the time.
It arrived, new photos, seller was off on measurement close to a foot tall on stand; heavy rock too, not like soapstone. Heavy like marble. Only flaw is a couple scratches on fingers or carvers mistakes. Has some age to it.
