In this video, you will see how Chinese potters find the exact mineral compositions of antique pottery and then make new pottery with the same percentage of the different minerals which, then, fool even the best expert and subsequent testing. This porcelain pieces are then sold, for inflated price, to various experts and collectors as genuine antiques

  • In other countries, people keep alive old crafts out of respect for the past. In China, it seems that these old crafts are being used entirely for the proceeds of crime. The same goes for their forgery of movies, handbags and watches. The entire talent of a billion people is focussed on crime.

  • It's a pity when the collectors have to go the pace of hundred thousands of dollar on international auction houses just for these fake Chinese ceramics.

  • i cant believe how someone would dedicate so much time, energy, education, creativity, just to produce a fake. Seems to me like talented people just need to just use those skills in a more honorable and productive way.
