@@email4664 It is about the most contradictory thing a Buddhist could say though isn't it? Anyone who is even slightly along the path would know that possessing anything is an illusion, let alone something that is desirable and pretty.

It actually genius, it forces people to get stuck with their words because wow is so easy to say, and who wants to watch a show where people say wow over and over again?
For most ceramics, "good condition" means it might have a tiny chip or a bit of a rub somewhere, regardless of age. Noticeable chips, cracks, repairs, etc. all decrease the value by 50% or more for most types of pottery. There are exceptions, since some types of pottery are just so susceptible to wear (Majolica for example) but anything in porcelain shouldn't have any immediately obvious flaws to be considered "good condition." More than a tiny nick means "fair condition" at best. 1850 also isn't that old, especially when discussing Eastern antiques.
It still does. It’s American companies that pay for cheap materials and don’t pay companies that employe skilled workers that causes a lot of cheaper products to decline in durability. Some of the best medical equipment is made in China. It all comes down to cost for profit.

Huh, seemingly all imperial Chinese items are very valuable now, for "some reason." Though I am beginning to suspect something is living in the censer.
All these Chinese millionaires and billionaires are building up their Chinese art collections, and paying really good money to return ancient artifacts to the motherland. I remember that woman on Antiques Roadshow with the ancient Chinese Buddha statue, where the appraiser said it was worth $125,000. It turned out to be $2.1 million at auction! This woman better sell while the prices are hot--I bet she can get a good $500,000 from an over-eager Chinese millionaire at an auction!

I'm a Buddhist in a Japanese sect and I'd love to have these on my altar! Wow!
Isn't that becoming a slave to materialism or something as a Buddhist? :) Should you even be worrying about trinkets/objects in Buddhism?
@@petecabrina it is human to covet, just as it is human to be a shitpile pete.

I have a candle holder thats Japanese all cobalt blue on white porcelain. Also has stamp on bottom in cobalt. Beautiful piece.
I love this channel
Really lovely.
"They'd pooled all their money" 💛
Yokohoma has a large Chinatown. Monk bought it from there and brought it back to the temple.
Her reaction is priceless.
That was sad to hear someone suggest that they had been instructed to be self-conscious of expressing their enthusiasm by saying "wow"
It actually genius, it forces people to get stuck with their words because wow is so easy to say, and who wants to watch a show where people say wow over and over again?
I doubt the show had anything to do with it, but perhaps her own family that accompanied her made the suggestion.
This lady is the first person in the world who was excited to know that her goods are made in China and not made in Japan.
😂
Chinese would pay for their stolen goods more than the Japanese would pay for their stolen goods
Those are so beautiful
I have no idea that Elizabeth Warren was on Antiques Roadshow
back when she had an Indian blanket to show off.
What a lovely lady.
Antiques in good condition. From China and around 1850. I would have expected more 🤔🤔

Wait, why shouldn't you say wow?
Random guess: someone on the show maybe asks them not to say wow so they don't end up with a bunch of segments of "wow!" reactions.
@@randylevy Even more of a random guess: her AR following friends warned her of going down the familiar "wow path".
When "made in china" meant amazing and beautiful works

@@realtalk6195 I don't see why anyone would fake baby formula it's literally just powdered milk mixed with a multivitamin powder!
They make fake white rice 🌾 made out of plastic,so probably the same with baby formula 😕
All these people hope their antiques will be worth millions
I would had said Chinese even if the title didn't say so just because of the colour of the enamel and type of decoration.

Yo wtf is that inside the top of the right circle at 2:20 a spider? a bug caught in a web? or am I just crazy?
You mean that mothy lookin' thing? Nah...didn't see it.
SolaceAura It looks like a spiderweb, they need to clean it out!
And it's made in China.
I bought a picture frame at Walmart and it was made in China I wonder what it's worth
That's disrespectful.
Pretty much the only occasion "made in China" can be used as a compliment
Huh, seemingly all imperial Chinese items are very valuable now, for "some reason." Though I am beginning to suspect something is living in the censer.
They were always expensive.
They are not that many.
This is not high quality porcelain.
But high quality history.

A lot of their pieces were also stolen and looted by foreign colonialists in the first place.

I'm not an expert and I knew they were Chinese and not Japanese. There's a foo dog sitting on top.
Made in Chi Na
Back then, "made in china" had pride and honor behind it
Japanese pieces are just out of this world. The talent on display is just unreal
Dude just said it was made in Jingdezhen, China
@@shininggreentea really? bruh
@@bsame
1:16 What makes these pieces more Chinese than Japanese
1:48 Majority of these pieces come from Jingdezhen
@@shininggreentea thanks, past me was an idiot
