It wouldn't surprise me that some place out there sitting in an antique shop, flea market or in somebody's attic in an old trunk is a piece or two of rare antique Chinese ceramic. I see Chinese ceramic here and there, but do believe them to be a recent reproduction piece, but still very beautifully made. I think it very rare to even come across anything older then 70/80? years of true antique Chinese made ceramics. Most old pieces I find will be Japanese brought back by the G.I.s or purchased from the Victorian times...I buy all the antique books I can find at the thrift stores as the old printed info still has allot of great information you will not find on the web. I did find a reference to two antique Chinese wine cups in a 1989 Miller's Intl' antique price guide. The value then was between $50 to $67.5k. What would the value be today? Keep looking folks, a better then average knowledge could be the key to your success.
