Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I don't know which type of fish maw this is, can it be estimated?
Yes. Take clear photos of the front, back, side profile and dimensions so our appraiser can identify the likely variety.

Q: If fish maw has slight cracks, will it be completely unacceptable?
Not necessarily. Cracks, insect damage and dampness affect the quotation, but the piece can still be appraised according to its actual condition.
