Features: Ancient porcelain is divided into official kiln porcelain and folk kiln porcelain, and further categorized into blue and white, (wǔcǎi -), Doucai, Famille Rose, monochrome glaze, and old kiln porcelain, among others. Mr. Li Chen's porcelain collection and the collecting stories presented in this book primarily focus on folk kiln porcelain from the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, along with their associated tales. The production of folk kiln porcelain during this period reached a peak in the history of Chinese porcelain. Collecting cultural relics, like everything else, requires more than just theory—it demands practical experience. The author introduces the readers to the personal collecting stories of himself and his fellow collectors, using a "show, don't tell" approach to share knowledge on identifying ancient porcelain and the experiences of collecting and trading, helping readers enhance their understanding and avoid risks. Therefore, this book is a rare and highly practical guide for collectors.
