CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
very informative but lack of colored photos -
It is a comprehensive guide to Asian antiques. The only drawback is that
there is no colored pictures. The book is divided into many organized chapters and make it easy to use as reference materials.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
lots there, but few color pics, some identification guides needed -
Lots of example values of pieces. Few have pictures, and even fewer have color pics. The listings are organized by category, but beyond that the details are buried in text and could have been better-separated. (I.e. having date and location of manufacture called out would be helpful.)
I have a particular example--Chinese cloisonne pieces of particular ages have hand-written "China" on the bottom, while others have stamped "China" instead. This book does not clarify which mark identifies which era.
This sort of thing definitely could use digitization. I would *love* to be able to search the entire text with keywords. I am a collector of Chinese pieces with bats. These pieces range from cloisonne to porcelains.
I do appreciate identification guides for "signatures" and makers marks. I would have appreciated a guide to identifying fakes, as many of these items are faked on a regular basis.
