Table of Contents

Prized the world over, jade has been considered a sacred stone with miraculous powers since prehistoric times. In ancient China, jade was regarded as the most important physical substance on earth. This invaluable book traces the chronological use of jade carvings in China, including primitive utilitarian tools, fascinating ceremonial objects, beautiful ornaments, and intricately designed sculptures.

Lavishly illustrated with over 900 color photographs, it features a wide diversity of examples and helps today's collector identify different types of jade and their period of carving -- ranging from neolithic times through the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). Also discussed in less detail are jade carvings from India, New Zealand, and pre-Columbian civilizations such as the Mayan, Toltec, and Aztec. Tips for determining the age and authenticity of jade carvings are provided, along with current values for all items illustrated. This indispensable reference will appeal to all collectors and admirers of jade and the Oriental arts.

Great for small to medium heat transfer projects.
Color: Lavender Purple, Color: Lavender Purple
This is perfect for small heat transfer projects. I used a few ready to press designs and it worked pretty well. It is small, portable, lightweight, and has a few heat settings on it. If you are looking to use it for sublimination, it is not the right fit. Tried sublimination and while there was enough heat to transfer some of the image, because of the size, it is really hard to get even, exact pressure over the entire project area which results in uneven, spotty results. All in all, great for small to medium heat transfer projects, and perfect for someone just getting in to heat transfer.

HTVRONT is the competition
Color: Mint
I've never purchased an HTVRONT product that I didn't like. I really like this mini heatpress. It's perfect for pressing small pieces for quilting, or a piece of vynil when a larger press is too much. I like the color and design but more importantly, it heats as it should with no glitches. I have another mini press from a different leading brand and comparitively, this one is the better of the two. I caught it on sale but at regular price I would have still bought it.

Just As Good As Cricut- Half the Cost
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
I had a Cricut mini press, but my mother loved it for her quilting so much that I had given it to her. I learned after that it was a mistake as I used it more than I had realized. When looking back at the price, I could not justify almost $40, so I waited. I have been a user of HTVRONT's other products for years, so I finally gave it a chance. The package came with the mini press neatly resting in a fine quality box, where it is easy to store. It feels sturdy and well made without any weird smells. It has a nice weight to it, but not too heavy. It evenly distributed heat making it easy to apply the HTV onto my project. I was able to easily use it on felt and cotton. I actually prefer it has a dial for temperatures rather than buttons like the cricut. 10/10 would recommend.

High Recommend!!!
Color: Mint
This mini heat press packs a lot of heat! It’s very easy to use and it’s light weight. I use it for my crochet projects when ironing patches on. The silicon holder didn’t burn when resting the mini machine on it either. This is a pretty sturdy mini press and I am very happy with my purchase.
