<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9075968, member: 8267&quot;]I would be very cautious, and skeptical, when considering Chinese antiques. It is not a field for beginners, and it is made more complicated by cultural differences. The concept of &quot;authenticity&quot; (e.g. a Ming dynasty vase was actually made during the historic period of the Ming Dynasty) is very important to a Western buyer investing in an antique. But the Chinese view can be different. A modern vase made with the same techniques and style may be considered just as &quot;Ming&quot; as one made 500 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.leidenartsinsocietyblog.nl/articles/made-in-china-the-paradoxical-concept-of-authenticity-in-a-globalized-world" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.leidenartsinsocietyblog.nl/articles/made-in-china-the-paradoxical-concept-of-authenticity-in-a-globalized-world" rel="nofollow">https://www.leidenartsinsocietyblog.nl/articles/made-in-china-the-paradoxical-concept-of-authenticity-in-a-globalized-world</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
