The ceramic industry in China dates as far back as 2000 years ago. But, Chinese porcelain continues to be a source of fascination even today. Unsurprisingly, many people attempt to reproduce these ancient ceramic pieces and pass them off as genuine antiques that can sometimes end up being auctioned for large amounts of money.

To the novice collector, telling a genuine piece of Chinese porcelain from a fake one can be a bit tricky. Because every dynasty and every era came with its own types of porcelains, there isn’t just one way to check a genuinely valuable collectible against a modern counterfeit.

That said, you can learn how to spot original Chinese ceramics including plates, cups, and vases too based on the era they were created. Here, we’ll give you a basic guide on how you can identify an antique Chinese vase.

In the world of collectibles, fashion, and décor, age is not just a number. The real or estimated age of an item can influence its value, quality, condition, and even its market price.

To the layperson, terms such as vintage, antique, collectible, reproduction, and retro all mean the same thing but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Any well-versed collector will tell you that interchanging antique for vintage is a cardinal sin.

So, what gives? What really is the difference between vintage vs antique? Whether you are looking to buy and sell items from the past, or you want to label your décor theme correctly, making the distinction between vintage and antique is a good place to start.
