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.
