Here are some more information for Chinese Antique:
For more than a thousand years porcelain was one of the most admired products in the world. It played a central role in many cross-cultural exchanges, serving as an artistic symbol across great distances. Historians now believe that the cultural impact of Chinese porcelain has been greatly underestimated. Although there's a wealth of literature written about Chinese porcelain, the experts in the field, such as historians and archaeologists, rarely consult the publications.
The dawn of Chinese porcelain has been announced by Shang Dynasty. The porcelain of that day served as a substitute for bronze and other metals, and was greenish in color. Later on, during the Eastern Han period, porcelain technique had greatly improved and the wares given a distinct name in order to differentiate them from a porous, softer earthenware. The new name was "tz'u", which, later, during the T'ang dynasty, came to mean true porcelain.
Europeans first discovered true porcelain in Chinese blue and white wares of early to mid 1500s. It was love at first sight. Western merchants imported millions of porcelain items, prompting the English critic and writer Samuel Johnson to call it "the contagion of China fancy". Others called it a "porcelain disease", an obsessive desire to posses something that seemed exotic. For over a thousand years Chinese porcelain was greatly admired throughout the world, not just in Europe.
It influenced every ceramic tradition in the world, including Asia, Africa, Middle-East, and South America. Egyptian and Turkish potters combined Chinese porcelain decoration with Ottoman designs; Venetian potters adapted flower patterns from Turkish pottery, while Chinese craftsmen followed the design of Venetian glass makers in porcelain. Later, Mexican potters created their own blue and white flow wares because they wanted to imitate the Chinese. With their stress on simplicity and economy, Chinese porcelain craftsmen are closely related to their poets, writers, and visual artists. They seek to express harmony with the natural surroundings. Chinese artists often have looked for inspiration by withdrawing to remote areas, and these landscapes have become conventional themes of Chinese art.
The art of Chinese porcelain has played a crucial role in bringing the artistry of porcelain to different parts of the world, as well as to different and often seemingly unrelated disciplines (architecture, sculpture, silverwork, etc.) It set forth a novel and creative multi-cultural synthesis that has helped the way the world looks at a work of art.

China Today And Chinese Antiques
How are you going to keep them down on the yhurt, after they've seen Beijing? So a billion people watched these most glorious ever Olympics - no need to ponder Chinese antiques or any old buildings. Now that the games are over life goes back to the daily routine as things are evolving to be. For many farm youth in rural China today, the lure of the coast and the jobs becomes ever more real. We learn that it is often the younger daughter who leaves the family compound in the valley towns and villages, and ventures for only months not years at a time to work near the coast in a factory job.
There are dormitorys we learn as the man with the golden BBC voice shows us places. Work here in clean modern factory, walk these ways to shops and dormitory home, all new. We learn these migrants return to their village often, some times staying at home for work as available in the town or the fields. Toilets are a rare commodity in the country side and a luxury in the new dormitory life style on the coast. Much is provided, few additional luxuries are needed to survive, live, work, and enjoy some quiet time while your factory job takes precedent.
How you enjoy the modern lead lined pot or melamine soil laced product or simply a fine, cheap and worthy appliance seems to need so careful choices on the part of all of us. We do know that the earlier great civilizations that had walls built to protect them from northern barbarians had created many fine products. To be able to get your hands on any rich relic of bygone days would be to put you on a more fast track type of strategy than many of your fellows are doing.
To buy low any rich old Chinese antiques is to place your self into the future destiny of a wise investor who wants what you have because you chose so wisely. So what if it is a future Susie Wong and she has conquered it all now. But she does long for her grand mothers Mings and relic old things. And when she checks and her web browser point the fate finger at you, hold to your price, while you make her gasp. Stick your neck out Marco, your timing was fine, your choice of antiques divine.
She must take off her shoes near your shrine, her mantle lined with Mings and things. When your long low bow makes her blush, you show you understand. Princess Wong has been trained to see how you flatter her so, is a test to prove she is special Princess. To deal with the mirror backward Orient mind, if you are of the west, consider this. Think of your self as a left handed tennis player playing one billion three hundred million right hand tennis players. That always causes challenges, because you are different.
Now, if you practice your back hand so it is your strongest shot and you play that often, you now have two advantages which can have you beat players better than your actual skill level should support. So this can apply when you as one of the west challenges a rich female Chinese antiques investor. The question is how. By buying back her family heirlooms.
She will brag she met you, you can tell her the price is going up but she can say it was all so easy, you are just another Marco Polo wanna be. Win win, and you get to serene all the way to the bank.
