How to distinguish between machine carvers and hand carvers of jade?

The price of jade products is closely related to the technology of jade. Its price is related to the processing area, sculptor, workpiece size, process complexity and so on. In addition, the price of jade products is closely related to whether the jade products are mechanical or manual.

Here, I mainly talk about how to identify whether the jadeite finished product is a mechanic or a manual process.

There is a simple way to distinguish between machinists and hand-carved parts, but it is not a universal method. Because the carvings of machine carvers are all carved by computer, the raw materials of jade carved by computer are generally blocks cut from aniseed, and the finished products of carving are generally thin jade brand, Guanyin, Buddha and so on. And there are few round pendants with full shapes, so if you see these themes, you should pay attention to distinguish them from the following aspects. However, this distinction is one-sided after all and cannot be generalized.

Exercise your eyesight, distinguish between mechanics and handicrafts, and pay attention to the following aspects:

1. There are many themes carved by mechanics, including brands, buddhas and avalokitesvara. The style is popular, and the carved lines are consistent with the patterns. You will often see several products with the same style and carving method.

2. The lines carved by machine technology are relatively shallow, and the process pressing line floats on the surface. On the whole, the depth of process pressing line is completely consistent.

The general appearance of Buddha or Guanyin carved by machine sculptor is very popular. The Buddha statue is a standard round thin plate with a big belly, and Guanyin mostly sits cross-legged on the lotus seat. The facial expressions carved are very standard and delicate, but most of the lines carved are of the same depth and shallow outline.
