Understanding and Identifying Late Qing Chinese Porcelain Decorations, Footrims and Styles

[@lorriedmussett4692]

Peter, thank you so much for taking the time to create these extra videos these days. Its so much great historical information on the history of asian art. And the more i watch your videos ( and re-watch them several times).....its all so cool and interesting. Thx you again for these extra videos. See you Friday!!

[@TheJoshGalt]

Excellent work Peter. I was able to pick up my very first late Qing figurine and it is stunning!!!!! Thank you!

[@davidnelson6563]

Another great video, love the side by side comparison's, thanks for producing this. Please more bring more Peter

[@lucilleoka]

As usual it is a very good video. Do you know of any changes that the potters had to make to the mining locations thus forcing them to use lesser quality porcelain deposits? I figure if mining depletions happen in the 20th century it had to happen in ancient times. That could account for so many variations in the porcelain.

I just figured out why I picked up Chinese pottery to resell: to make myself crazy

[@andreput6053]

Hi Hello and Thank you

[@christophedesbiens4490]

A few chinese people can say your item is new in order to buy it at a low price

[@charlotteritchie3338]

Wonderful Peter, thank you so much! I’m going to have to watch it a couple more times just to really “get it” but I’m sure learning a lot, and I always look forward to any and all of the content you provide. What a great way to spend time during this period of semi-seclusion!

[@chaddsteinberg3758]

I Took A Lot Of Notes, Took Two Times The Amount Of Time But Exactly What I Needed To Understand. I Grasp Western Porcelain But If I Was To Have Found A Crude Soft Paste French Or German Porcelain It Would Scream Early And High Dollar. But Chinese “Porcelain” Went Through So Many Fazes Of Crude To Quality Because The Wars, Outlawing’s, Middle Eastern Influence, etc. That It Can Get Confusing. It Really Seems At Least The Later “Porcelain”. Quality In Paste And Minute Detail To Glaze Prevails No Matter How Aesthetically Pleasing, The Paste Tells You The Quality, The Glaze Tells You The Care Taken(No Bubbles, Perfection Separating Foot Rim), And The Enameling Tells You Who It Was Meant To Impress (Design For Domestic or Export?) And (Impressive Enough For A Peasant Or The Emperor?) Thank You, Peter.

[@lorriedmussett4692]

Ok...so i just finished my 2nd viewing of this " extra " video! They really are great fun to watch. I truly appreciate your efforts, expertise and passion . And remember, im just a fan of you and your channel...

[@PeterCombs]

Hey Lorrie, GLad you're enjoying them and hope they also fill some time while we're all waiting for the Flu issue to work its way out. Stay safe!! Best Peter

Thank you kindly!

Novice collector of Asian art, thanks for the information muchly appreciated 👍🏼

[@chuexiong3709]

Me too I also need more information

[@petersusanzuger5351]

Peter, the later "copy" at 16:10 appears to show persimmon fruit, although the leaves are not peach or persimmon. The difference in quality of the artwork is as you note, far less than the older piece. The artist for the second one seems not to be familiar with the actual fruit and leaves and is putting together stock images from from the studio. Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials.

[@Mns_87]

Why did the quality decline from the 18th Century to the 19th Century? Was it a result of China’s economic decline and political crises in the 19th Century? Or were pieces made for export in the 19th century lower quality because it was mass produced and meant for export?

[@cubismic]

Hi ! I got a vase with a chilong, in cream-white, with a fine crackle bottom. Does this indicate it´s late 19th century ?

[@RichMitch]

Been watching your videos for a while now. I'm becoming a big Sinophile, especially the arts and history. Are you aware of the China History Podcast by Laszlo Montgomerie here on KZbin?

[@davidwu9761]

Peter, you spoke very well. I hope that more people will watch your video. It is best to add simultaneous Chinese translation text. thank you.

[@egjohanns]

👍🌸

[@kastironwoman6009]

Very informative. I feel like I just sat through a college class. I LOVE the Qianlong Pair of Blue vases- the Copies. How much do copies cost that are not trying to pass themselves off as authentic?. I cannot afford the real thing anyway. Or even Better the 18" Tall Blue Ground Vases from the Kung Shee Period. They are AMAZING. Isn't thee some place to buy reproductions?

[@PeterCombs]

High end copies can be found all over eBay, Liveauctioneers and many other sites. Best Peter

[@tatjana1726]

Thank you. Very useful to see a comparison of two.

[@SharonMusick]

Hello. thank you for all the information and sharing your knowledge! I've come across a beautiful box which looks new. It is marked Qing Lian and has a quilted top. Inside is two Ginger jars with lids. They look new, as they have never been used and the inside of the lid is paper covered like a cupcake fold to protect it. I cannot find any info on newer pieces with the box reading Qing Lian. There is also a red chinese mark which I cannot read. They are White porcelain with blue flowers and buds with the red mark on the side not bottom along with one row of blue Chinese writing. Any thoughts?

[@waynetang6768]

Thanks Mr.Peter Combs, I have learning a lot from your great great great video.

[@anatolianrugs9348]

Thank you very much for your hard work, we are happy to have a valuable expert like you.🥰

I'm now convinced that there is no way to tell real from anything but the most obvious fakes

[@Rose39M]

Thank you Peter! Great informative video once again!

[@1957bots8]

You got thumbs up because of your request photo, not to mention the info too.

[@larryandcherisavage6848]

thank you for the informative video

[@hamedalbar5070]

I own a piece of china and I want to sell it

[@ho2cultcha]

no iron oxide line on the mark and period cong vase? is that unusual?

[@PeterCombs]

No, not at all, I've had many good ones with slight line along the edge of the glaze and foot, inside and out. If the paste is very pure and well levigated (washed) you will find none fairly often. best Peter

[@cathychan9994]

Very interesting, thanks for the information 👍🏻

[@terryannblack5189]

Peter, I have a few Chinese pieces but I don't know much about them even though I watch you all the time. could you do a video call with me so I can find out how to list them? If yes could you find me on Facebook and friend me. Terryann Black lives in Hamilton Ontario born in Oakland Michigan Feb.11/1965.

[@JW-vo9fi]

Being a collector with a Chinese American background, I find your videos remarkably interesting. I enjoyed watching your lectures and I have learned a lot. Thank you!

[@PeterCombs]

Thanks so much, we do our best to share what we'v learned over 40 years. From both a dealer and collector viewpoint. Best, Peter PS as a collector you might find a lot of the other resources on Bidamount.com helpful.

[@josephaziz5859]

We need the dates, not the periods--the periods don't tell us anything--we don't speak Chinese. Enough already. It's very confusing. Address a novice audience, not professionals who already know all this.

[@mohamadi5432]

Hi dear: Is it possible I send you photos of some porcelain ? If yes what’s your email please. Can you help me here? Some I got from Japan and I hope brings me some nice Chench by your help if possible please.thanks

[@terrybucknall7158]

Can you help me ,IV got a porcelain vase it got a bird and it's got flowers on it ,it's got a red mark with it looks like teapot simble on top of the mark and says made in China thank you.

[@gloriahanes5338]

It is the most complex yet intriguing items to collect, and I go by my gut if I like it I buy it though never paying more than a few dollars. I do, however, have a lovely reproduction vase (a knock off of the 17th century piece), and I am perfectly okay with a reproduction of high quality at a minimal price.

[@josephaziz5859]

Superb, very informative, as always. We would like to know the approximate dates, not the inscrutable names of the periods. In antiques, we don't refer to periods, but approximate dates would be much more helpful. "Kang Shi" tells us nothing. Hard to believe a lot of Chinese porcelain, in mint condition, is from 1700's--anyone can sign the bottom of the vases with an earlier marking. Auctions and dealers have a vested interest in the ability to distinguish periods, which to me seems impossible, even with Combs's masterful analyses. Chinese copy everything in sight--Chinese Fender guitars are superior to Fender guitars made in US so they make them in China. Chinese are very, very inventive copiests. I had a 20th century Chinese rug using tapestry wool that was superior to real French Savonneries of the earlier period. No joke--superior--sold it for song. Where did Chinese get the tapestry wool? Who knows? Now artificial silk (from bamboo) is indistinguishable from real silk from worms, and sold as real silk in Turkey to innocent tourists.

[@goaway673]

So glad I found you! I have a number of good Japanese and Chinese pieces. I've wanted to find some honest info having had bad luck with appraisers and a one time, never again trip to Antique roadshow years ago.

[@MoneyMonster0000]

Thanks for the information, I'm looking more into 2 vases I have to better understand them and their history.

[@paivisean]

Fantastic video Peter ! i have made a lot of mistakes collecting over the years any tips or ideas or opinions are always appreciated .Thank you so much . Sean

buy lots of books, visit museums over and over and over, and learn about Chinese art and styles in all mediums over time. and go to a major auction house preview every chance you get. ..Best Peter
