Excerpt from How to Collect Continental ChinaTure often pursued is by redecoration. The forger having obtained a genuine old piece originally made for ordinary use and therefore very simply decorated, removes the glaze and painting by means of an acid and redecorates it with a much more elaborate subject, richly coloured and heavily gilded, and then reglazes the freshly painted sur face. This method skilfully carried out is much more difficult to detect, for the piece is a genuine old specimen so far as the paste and mark are concerned, if, however, the suspected surface is held at certain angles to the light, the junction of the old and new glaze is plainly discernible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
