I was very lucky to find 4 pictures made of jade picturing iconic flowers. I would love to be able to find out about the artist but it's all in asian characters. Is there anyway I can find out about these? It's started to drive me crazy lol. I keep a household inventory and I can't figure out how to price these. I think they are worth far more than I paid.

Tammy, have you sent a PM to Kenny So? He might have good information for you...

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

I know what they are. They are cherry blossom, mums, peonies, and lotus blossoms.

What I don't know is who the artist is. The name is written in asian characters. So I can't even reproduce them to search on the internet and I have no idea how to read them.
