Quick email consultation on Antique Chinese and Japanese Porcelain

Ask a Question

If you need a quick answer on any Antique Chinese or Japanese porcelain piece you have, want to buy or thinking of selling, welcome to e-mail me directly. To help support this page, kindly donate $20 per item. Just hit the 'PayPal' button and I will answer as soon as I can.

A few limitations apply; This service is for antique Chinese or Japanese porcelain. If it is not that, or maybe not even Asian, I might not be able to tell what you have. I cannot for example translate Chinese or Japanese cursive texts. Translations of Marks will be given if they are known and I have them in my archive. Some modern seals and cursive script marks can be very difficult to translate. Also I'd rather not suggest any values on anything I have not handled in person, except in very general terms.

After paying, copy and paste the PayPal Transaction ID in the field below before posting your question. If you have already paid for your question and just coming back, you can use the word "resubmit" instead.

Shrink your images before sending. See below if you need help.

Thank you in advance for your interest and support
