Authenticity Identification of Ming and Qing Dynasty Porcelain delves into aspects such as ceramic forms, value assessment, shapes, body and glaze, painting, patterns, and inscriptions, categorizing them into three major types: blue-and-white porcelain, painted porcelain, and glaze porcelain. Using a combination of text and images, it systematically and comprehensively introduces the production of various Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, giving the book both academic and appreciative value. Additionally, to enhance the targeted nature of the content, the book includes special sections on identifying authenticity and forgery, as well as tables closely related to the material. At the end of the book, it appendices topics such as recent auction trends of Ming and Qing porcelain, major forms of each dynasty, and basic knowledge of ceramics, highlighting the practical and reference-oriented features of the book, helping you take the first step in collecting and identifying Ming and Qing porcelain.
