Hi Peter Another amazing video. I feel I am at the university of Chinese porcelain. These videos are so helpful especially to those of us who simply don't get to handle many authentic porcelains. Your work is really appreciated!
Thanks so much, I hope these video's serve as a useful start for anyone interested in the subject. I always urge folks without having seen a lot of pieces to buy from sources they can rely on. It's why we've done the "News Letter" page now for years on Bidamount and the recently added "eBay Today" page. All are things we've already checked out. Thanks again for your kind words.

Awesome video. Great helpfull tips. I would like to see more videos like this. I love to expand my knowledge on how to date chinese porcelain and learn quality.
Thank you Peter! This is a great video to get us ready for the video soon to come on showing the differences between the earlier vs later copies of Chinese porcelain! I really enjoyed the video, and who cares how long it is, the longer the better as far as I'm concerned. 😀👍
On many I have no idea how they will be, I don't have a script or anything and they take as long as they take to go through. On some I keep a few notes for exact prices on occasion, but beyond that, I just talk about what I am seeing. I am glad very much that you do not mind the length..Best Peter
the deer pattern used were often very similar with variations in colors. As was seen on one of the three examples, a few of the deer are positioned slightly differently, the "white " deer was facing away his head turned on one. Best Peter
Thanks so much for your effort Peter!!! it would be very cool if you could start with an original earlier piece followed by a later 20th-century piece or copy to really get the differences. Really appreciate your work and videos!
Thank you!!! I am fascinated with Chinese porcelain especially the Flambe vases.... started collecting about 3 years ago =) .... thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Peter, the green in the hair may possibly be the result of an artist with red-green color blindness. My older brother painted a watercolor of me with green hair thinking he was using brown(my actual hair color). Yes my brother is red-green colorblind, but is a highly skilled artist. 10% of all men are colorblind. Including myself.
I maybe a late comer' but i love your videos. I love learning about all this and love learning it all from you with your obvious passion for it all. Thx P. Combs
You have made me to understand more than ever about famille rose paintings on porcelain, Peter. Thanks for all the efforts you have put in to realise this informative video. With greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks so much, its obviously not everything you need to know, still be cautious, but we do hope it's will serve as a foundation or part of one. We will do more, and have a number of them already posted. BEst Peter
Thank you for all the information...I don't think I noticed any images of Moon Goddess Chang-o and her husband Yi...were they common images for export china? Thank you again.
Excellent teaching! Appreciation of the talent and intricate work that went into artwork on the older pieces hitting home through this video. Looking forward to your future videos. I thank you for dedicating the time and effort it takes to put these videos together.
What a great vid ! have a fascination for oriental art in general and just recently started to collect Chinese porcelain. Listening to an expert in the field is a must, thank you !
I love all your videos. I'm hooked and have been binge watching for days. Even fell asleep with one of your playlists playing, and woke up feeling like I was smarter in antique Chinese porcelain! Please keep up the great work. It's very much appreciated. Thank you.
It is so hard to get good information on Chinese Porcelain. This was really helpful! I would it be possible to do a videoo on Dehua of Monochromes. These can be hard. Thank you so much for the great effort.
Thank you so much. This kind of educational material is really invaluable. Seems the key to this one is to examine the painterly-ness of the enameling.
I had mentioned a few weeks ago we were working on it, but it took a while to figure out how to do it and then gather all of the images. We'll do another on enamel ground pieces and other types, but thought this would be a good start. When we have a minute, we'll load all of the images used onto the Bidamount.com Blog, you can greatly enlarge them that way. The video will also be embedded there. Best Peter
The French terminology comes from writings of French Jesuits who used these terms while communicating by letter home, and it became the adopted terminology used in the west. Most of the letters were from the 19th C. Best Peter
@@PeterCombs Thank you Peter, I am half way through this video, busy day ! I could listen to you for hours ! SO much to learn. I collect antiques in my own way and friends keep asking me how I know of Something is real or Worth Something and I tell them that it is by looking, touching if possible and asking and in the end your senses know. I once picked up a small hand held painted mirror in a pile of utter Junk and knew at once that it was 18th century, paid 80cents for it. A best friend and I used to scan the stalls in markets in London and spot the good stuff at once, I have a small ivory Buffalo found amongst plastic for exemple. The hunt is fun, finding where to put stuff is harder !
Excellent examples. I'd love to see an exhibit of just famille rose of this quality. I've seen them at museums only as inclusions in more diversified collections.
I went to a habitat sale and bought an 8 inch immortal for one dollar Its iron red detail with a staff his moustache is very intriguing has I believe a phoenix bird on his back with greens and blues.It has a bunch of intriquit symbols but I could feel I got a deal however it has a six characters mark on the bottom with China in a circle.
wonderful video; thank you so much I guess something which is confusing with famille rose, and blue and white, porcelain is the production of domestic imperial and non-imperial wares side by side through the different dynasties; so a buyer now may see a deer vase, for example, in a regional or local auction with a qianlong mark and think , well it's obviously not imperial quality or of the period, it doesn't have all the shading , and details in the brush strokes , but it could be a later C19th non-imperial copy.... whereas it's much more likely to be a modern reproduction.
99.9% of the Deer Vases that turn up in regional auction houses are modern copies. This includes ones purportedly made during the 19th C. In my entire career, I've never seen one yet that's authentic. They made very few during the 19th C. A few have gone through the major auction houses, but not many year over year. Best Peter
Thank you very much. I really loved this and I will try and view it a few times as I can learn a lot your knowledgeable commentary. . Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
