Features: This book is a research monograph that reveals the various specific manifestations and methods of faking Yuan-style blue-and-white porcelain and aging, systematically classifies and summarizes them for the first time, and for the first time, displays them with actual images. Most identification books on ancient porcelain use collections to showcase genuine pieces or discuss the characteristics of genuine pieces in terms of patterns, shapes, and craftsmanship, while providing only brief summaries of fakes. This book, however, details the four key aspects that distinguish genuine ancient porcelain from fakes and aging—glaze, color, mark, and body—that are often difficult for appraisers or buyers to identify, easily leading to deception, and thus require mastery. The specific content includes: true and false glazes, true and false blue-and-white colors, true and false rust spots, true and false bodies, and true and false marks. Under each category, it displays various common aging techniques in the market with images, comparing them with genuine pieces. At the same time, it provides detailed analysis based on rich practical experience. Additionally, the book explores some difficult issues and rare pieces. This book pioneers the field of ancient porcelain identification to meet the needs of the market and the public, making it a highly practical and research-worthy monograph. The book includes approximately 200 images in total.
