    You have said nothing about the vase! You did not mention about the clay, foot rim, nor type of cobalt used in its production! Useless video.

    Alexander listen to what the guys telling you .he’s giving you free knowledge he doesn’t have too I was taught if you run your finger round the base it was a good sign if it felt like bees wax not rough and white porcelain it was Chinese 6 digits could be Ming mark I handled the vase that made 43million so was lucky that had a square imperial mark

    The base of the vase and the colouring of the underglaze blue doesn’t seem right for the piece. in my opinion it looks like a 20th century forgary.

    They estimate at 25 $ this item because they are experts.Beware of this valuemystuf, they are fake people who ask money and when they send u the result they tell you just 10-20 $ for all because they are full of lies.

  7. Basic information and extremely annoying “music” noises and popups. More Sesame Street than Ming Dynasty.
    I also doubt Christie’s is happy their flag is flying in Mr. Gibson’s video.

    There are so many really fine modern copies made in the past 20 years, I am suspicious of any Chinese ceramics without good provenance. Expert Chinese friends in Beijing have told me that many of the modern copies are so good, that they are virtually indistinguishable from the true antiques. Be very wary, even if the gallery is in a high rent district, and be extremely skeptical if rare pieces turn up in local US auction houses. Almost all of these are modern copies.

    I sell a very rare and old vase of Chinese. We do not know what kind of dynasty it is, but it’s very interesting. In the afternoon blue in the evening becomes black. When we bought a flea market a few years ago, the vase was brown with time the paint moved away and it became clear that it was painted blue, it turns out to be a native color, as there are already visible trash on the vase. Not

    That man does not enjoy his job.lol. Some copies are so well made that only an expert can tell the difference. I have no problem buying a well made copy as long as it is not being sold as an original or antiquity. We love these items because of the workmanship/skill and beauty. For investment, of course, being well made and beautiful is not enough.

    Oh… why isn’t there a soft cloth underneath the vase when handling it like that. 😱
