How to tell whether porcelain is antique or not?
The most essential principle to distinguish the authenticity of antiques is feature comparison. There are many kinds of antiques, but each kind of antique, such as porcelain and bronze ware, has various characteristics because of its different age, material, production technology and preservation conditions. Such as mold marks left by bronze casting, all kinds of copper rust left by years, painted pigments of porcelain, tire soil, glaze characteristics and so on. . Many of these naturally occurring features are unique to artifacts of different times. In other words, they are like anti-counterfeiting marks on banknotes, which are artificially impossible to copy or expensive to copy. To identify the authenticity of antiques is to use these characteristics for comparison. The authenticity of an antique is to determine the name and classification of the antique first, and then compare it according to the corresponding signs to see if there are these features on it and whether these features are consistent with the real thing. This is the way to judge the authenticity of antiques. Because there are so many kinds of antiques, it is basically impossible for a person to master the identification characteristics of each antique. A person who studies hard all his life can only master a few kinds at most. Therefore, an expert can identify anything, often unreliable porcelain identification. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the establishment and development of Jingdezhen official kiln, calligraphy on porcelain tended to be systematic and standardized. On the other hand, the styles of folk kiln porcelain are diverse and complicated. The following dynasties. Ming Hongwu: During the Hongwu period, no official kiln ware with year number was found.

The bottom of the inkstone is engraved with the cross seal of "Yongle B not autumn Hanlin Shen Du knowledge". Careful contrast, similar to Yongle calligraphy font on porcelain.
