<p>[QUOTE="laura9797, post: 10184166, member: 9323"]That is interesting. I remember having a conversation with one of my consignors at the auction house who was Chinese and would get in freight containers brought over with tons of porcelain/ceramics. Not old but modeled after high selling pieces that were nice replicas of Ming period, etc. Whenever a particular piece sold for good money at Sotheby's or Christies, they would make the reproductions in large number for the American market. He said the crazing would never be exaggerated in the true old pieces because it wasn't a forced technique. I just find it a bit distracting in these new pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
