Q1: How do you view antiques in your collecting career?
When it comes to the growth process of collecting, I found that novices are often like children looking for treasures according to a map, and they want to get everything; But when you have a deeper understanding of the collection, you will understand that the treasures that are really worth collecting are actually rare, and what is left in your hands is often a few carefully selected fine products. Some people always like to show off how "old-fashioned" their collections are, but the problem is that the old and old features are blurred by fame and fortune, so that the collection of fakes increases. In fact, as a collector, people don't care about your collecting experience, people only admire the real masterpieces. Don't overemphasize your eyesight until you've made it.
Therefore, the real way of collecting requires prudence as the rudder, blind pursuit is like gambling on the sea, and excessive greed is tantamount to self-destruction. In the treasure hunt, it is necessary to carefully screen the treasures to prevent them from being dusted, and also to be wary of careless mistakes and falling into traps. The key to a true collector is to have a keen eye for insight and a solid economic foundation, both of which are indispensable.
Q2: What are your insights and suggestions for ceramic identification?
In the world of collecting, there is often such a wonderful experience: when your eyes are full of desire for a certain collection and you are in a hurry, it is like a frightened butterfly, and it flies out of your sight with a flap of its wings. But when you let go of obsession and appreciate, learn, and accumulate with a peaceful mind, that pursuit of beauty will inadvertently turn into a force that leads you to unexpected gains. Those babies that you meet inadvertently may be the best reward for your long-term focus and love.
Finally, I think it's important to keep learning! Only by constantly learning new knowledge and mastering new skills can we keep up with the pace of the times. In addition, the antiques market is full of complexity and uncertainty, but no matter what the situation, we should stick to our professional ethics, tell the truth and do practical things.
