Here is some good news for anyone who has seen this video. I have just published for 2021 a new much expanded book ‘Marks on Chinese Ceramics. You can read more about it and make a purchase here at my web site www.chinesemarks.com Gerald Davison. I'm pleased to be bale prick the bubble of the silly prices asked for copies of my older books! New one is £60.00 + P & P

Nice video . I live in Hawaii and have bought quite a few pieces at thrift stores, and yard sales etc; but don't know how to tell whether they are real or not yet . My father and mother collected antiques and had quite a collection, and told me even if you don't know what you are doing if you do enough research, and keep buying them you will eventually end up buying some . I subed .

Walter you hit 1000!!! Congratulations! I have a Chinese vase that was made into an oil lamp and then converted to an electric lamp. I want to take the lamp apart to see the bottom of the vase, but I am afraid of breaking the vase. Anyways, Thanks Walter for your videos, they are so informative. XX ♥

So for several Years Iv been learning all I can about pretty much anything old, part of history and or vintage and antique items often found at thrift shops yard sales for practically nothing because the majority of people have no idea what value is. Anyway I appreciate your information but I’m still unclear on what Iv got in this piece with I guess a 3 character mark.

The marks are Chinese. If you have it on bronze. Odds are it is an xuande emperor search for that mark on google it should match. That is the most common mark used on metal ware. Doesn’t not mean it is a Ming piece mind as they still use that mark now

Thanks! Great job. For the last few months I have been watching the incredible series of videos on Chinese porcelain at kzbin.info . I especially like his advice on auction houses and s identifying fakes. Good luck on your adventures in this interesting niche in antique porcelain. By the way, I agreed with your comment on touching and examining these pieces in person. Having collected antique art pottery from the U. S. for many years, I have learned that this is sometimes the ONLY way you can identify the authenticity of a good piece. Especially if there may be damage.
