Where previous generations of porcelains imitated, call antique porcelain. Antique porcelain antique row to the last two categories, the more recent era of antique porcelain, called “new vintage”; the era of longer, and called “old Distressed”, such as the Ming Dynasty porcelain Zhengde toward the DPRK and other imitation Xuande. Generally recognized that the “old Distressed” has some collection value, and agreed that the “new vintage” collection value is not high. Why is the “old Distressed” porcelain collection also has some value? As generic has entered the era of the scope of antiques. Such as the Qing Emperor Kangxi porcelain of fake Chenghua Korea, although it is clear imitation of Ming porcelain, it is a being with the Kangxi porcelain, it has some collection value. It can be seen collection of antique porcelain downline “old Distressed” porcelain, rather than the “new Distressed” porcelain. Over time, there are always “new Distressed” porcelain because “enough of waiting years” become “old Distressed” porcelain. For example, in the 20th century, 30 to 50 years, generally the late Qing Dynasty antique row, the Republic of imitating ancient porcelain wares are called “new Distressed”, although this type of imitation goods, higher technological level, but it was not high collection value. Today, the Qing Dynasty and porcelain have several decades to centuries, have gradually upgraded to the “old vintage.” Modern people have said “The new Distressed” refers to the modern imitation of the former Republic of China porcelain, the same reason, the modern name of artist produced porcelain (also including the “New Distressed” porcelain), the collection has some value, but in order to “antique” value, but also over time Caixing. This is a collection of most works of art into the law. In addition, from the porcelain art side, the antique is a style of imitation, is skilled reaching can “lifelike” performance. There are many high-end Chinese porcelain porcelains is specific but not the royal civil use, production skills will be lost due to various mishaps. If Ming Xuande red glaze lost, and so had to use alum instead of red device. Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty Guan Kiln successful imitation Xuande red glaze, this is the famous “red kiln Lang,” but no one has ever “Lang Kiln Red” as a “forgery,” “Counterfeit”, such examples Many of the Qing Imperial porcelain. Therefore, the antique porcelain as a “forgery,” “Counterfeit” is also inappropriate. The problem is not antique porcelain itself, but with “antique porcelain” to impersonate real porcelain, and only at this time, “forgery,” “Counterfeit” concept is accurate.
