Features: This book selects chapters such as "Wooden Objects," "Lacquerware," "Cloisonné," "Glassware," " Ivory," and "Bamboo Carving" from Zhao Ruzhen's series A Guide to Antique Collectibles. These miscellaneous items primarily concern the daily life of ancient households. Beyond their influence on the antique and collecting industry, they also provide insights into the daily craftsmanship culture of ancient people. Compared to traditional main categories, these items have fewer collectors, making them less prominent in the traditional antique industry. However, they are increasingly gaining attention from today's collectors. Bringing them together also gives relatively unified themes to the originally somewhat scattered content, allowing collectors or researchers to draw inspiration from these interconnected items. The book provides a solid foundation and identification knowledge for enthusiasts to understand certain miscellaneous antiques, as well as some helpful introductions to the origins of related craftsmanship.
