  • oh my gosh! thanks, i totally know what to go out and buy now. not.

  • She is way too vague about what NOT to buy and why. I bought a beautiful vintage Japanese cloisonne ginger jar at a thrift store and it's worth about $150. You just have to know how to identify a true antique from a repro, which the unfortunately divulges NOTHING about. After watching all her videos I have to wonder if she even knows herself. One thing to look for in-especially porcelains- is if it says "made in (insert country here" then it's more than likely post-1920.
