Small double chop which is rather roughly made. The inscription which reads twice 'shou' (Longevity) is very simple and the jade shows natural cracks. We have more chops with these simple characters from the same source which makes us believe that they came from a dealer who had them inscribed to make them more commercial. The chop was acquired in 2013 and came from the Rudolph Voll collection in California. It dates from the late Qing period (1644 - 1912) or early Republic (1912 - 1949). Length 2.1 cm. Width 1.2 cm. Height 1.15 cm. Weight 5.0 grams. For information on Rudolph Voll see Quick Find 4865.
