Bạn nói rất đúng và bạn là người tuyệt vời Peter

Thank you Mr. Peter Excellent video It is wonderful to educate people about counterfeiting

Thats very true, also happens on Invaluable.

+james lane Its a ridiculous problem, so many collections being built with pure junk..eBay, local auctions..all of them are selling the stuff.

I agree. Showing a proper piece side by side so we can see the comparison would be even more helpful.

We' wIII see what we can do on that for one. In some of our video's we do show reaI examples side by side with the copies. Perhaps we couId start accumulating images for a video of aII side by side comparisons. Thanks for the thought...Peter

Hello! i was about to ask the same thing. I'm studying to be an appraiser and try to learn every way i can, including your videos here. Thank you so much for giving us your time and knowledge! it would most certainly be more helpful if when showing a fake, you could be more specific. When you say "this dragon's tale is wrong", you don't at all explain what exactly is wrong, is it the shape, the thickness, the color, the direction, etc... You just state it's wrong and move on, with no explanation or an example of how a genuine dragon's tale of that style should look like. I see you said you have videos with comparisons, so i'll go look for those, again thank you very much for this contribution! Zara

I agree that that would be even more helpful. Thank you for your time to try to educate people however you do it, though, +Peter Combs! I did still learn a few things to look for from this video.

@@PeterCombs I was thinking the same thing about side by side comparisons. I absolutely love both Japanese and Chinese porcelains but am terrified of buying fakes so I don’t spend a lot, but am trying to learn so I’ve been binge watching your excellent videos.

I have a bown with flowers and birds.very white but it has a number in a star on the bottom. Is that fave stamp?

I would like an appraisal but.not for free.Its to help us not get ripped off.Thank you for your videos.

Great point!❤

Hello, have you see this one on our list? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7J2mtJ02N6qmIE.html If you think we need to add an additional one we can probably arrange it. Thanks for the comment.

ayuyuzten That's exactly what I wanted to write. I see a foot that he says it's a fake and than I see the same and he says it's real! How do you distinguish fake from real If I go to garage sale how do I spot the real one?

the difference can be very subtIe. Once you've handIed enough pieces, you'II see it right away. Aiso the Weight of copies aIso feeIs off. Often the fakes are too heavy and dense.

fjenk123 We've added a couple new ones since that do have comparison views...Check "authenticating Chinese porcelain" as well as the other.

Thanks. Your hard work is much appreciated.

fjenk123 If you visit our site Bidamount.com you will find an extensive image archive under "RESOURCES" around 15,000 images. Heres a link goo.gl/lWHMhA Also some of the books we've posted as Flip Books goo.gl/2rF0vX

Thanks.

The same problem exists with pieces with Guangxu marks. There has been a sudden flood of them in the last 20 years. 99% are fakes.

I have no problem with folks buying copies as decorations for a house, perfectly fine. The issue today is, the fakes are being sold as Antique and misleading buyers is never a good thing.

Yes, you make one but don't claim it's an antique ming this and that for $18000. Just mark it with pier1 or potterybarn $49.

@@PeterCombs 90% of Chinese ceramics in the world are fake, including museums.

+seeamerica1 very welcome, hope it was useful, we're working on a few more.

Thank you I'm just learning and appreciate all the help I can get.

Glad you liked it! Peter

They aren't easy to find, but they are there..mostly from dealer in the Netherlands.

Annie Zhang Thank you Annie..if you do not get our NewLetter sign up for it..its free..and very good.

I've upset a lot of dealers of fakes over the years. We did a few videos a couple years ago on a couple of auction houses in Georgia....they sent me a cease and desist letter from their lawyers, I posted it on our blog. A few years ago a dealer of fakes threatened to come to Gloucester and said "i'm gonna kill you and you won't see it coming"...I promptly sent him my address and phone number to make an appointment...never heard another word from him. Some people can be very touchy on this stuff. Best Peter

@@PeterCombs - you are doing a good job Peter,, makes my blood boil when I see these fakes and the prices these people are charging to unsuspecting buyers !!! Looking forward to this weeks video.

We do appraisals for estates, handle sales of items for customers through various outlets, we do also seII on eBay. Here's a ink to our business site. www.plcombs.com/

Oh my gosh! So true!

+Denise Turner later copies lack naturalistic looking drawing and appear too stiff and contrived, you need to see many over time. Its hard, but after a while the copies begin more and more to immediately look wrong. Spend a little time poking around on Christie's website in the POST AUCTION area, they have some terrific enlargeable images to study. we also have on our site at Bidamount a section with past Christie's and Bonhams Flip Book Catalogs that can be enlarged also. Here is a link to it. bit.ly/1QjLheB

+Sharon Meredith thanks Sharon, how have you been?

we are dealers and appraisers. We've been in business for over 35 years here in New England. Our income comes primarily from handling estate collections and buying for customers.

There are a lot of fakes around and a lot of great things too. Our other video's will share many with you. best Peter

The odds of your finding a REAL one, at a garage sale, are almost NIL - even if you're going to garage sales in wealthy (or formerly wealthy) places.

Bunny Biedenharn yes but all the high quality fakes will be sold at auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's in 20-30 years time

Sure, happy to have a Iook, our, www.plcombs.com/about-contact-us/ contact information is here. Best, Peter

THe video was one of the first we did several years ago, that said, the differences in the areas of foot rims, trimming and color, as well as texture are decidedly different when comparing old authentic examples and modern ones. At some point, time permitting, we do plan on doing some side by side comparisons in more depth.

We've done others with those as weII. Check through the Iist, I think you'II find them. Best Peter

Being very precise isn't possible unfortunately as there so many variables to deal with in every period with every type. Single aspects like kiln grit mean little, the piece needs to be examined in it's entirety which gets easier after handling thousands of pieces. Best, Peter

It is and takes a Iot of practice, as weII as cIose study handIing things. We've been doing it since the 1970's and so much has changed in the market. Our site www.bidamount.com/ has a great deaI of good information on it..you might find it usefuI.

Thanks

I am here watching one of your videos and checking the vases one by one

I've had LONG endless discussions with eBay about the FAKE issue, they simply do not care as none of the material is Copy Right protected. We have several account reps at eBay and we've talked with their supervisors and at one point the assistant to the President of the company. For now they do not care. So we do our part to share the real stuff thats on there.

Ha, Ha...thats a good idea...LOL. Peter

I only do it to draw a line between them and Taiwan...which the CCP stupidly refuses to admit is a country and not part of the Mainland..Best Peter
