if chinese ceramics and woa, was sold back then.
there would have alot kung fu movies, that would show chinese kung fu warlords. robbing people for
their chinese antiques. but in all(if not all) the kung fu movies that i watch. chinese antiques
were only shown by a kung fu master or a high government official, and mainly used to show-off
their antiques. and most of the ceramics were priceless, but that did not stop a kung fu master. who sometimes used antiques to trian there kung fu student. and i have watch alot of kung fu movies, were a student broke plenty of antiques. sure the teacher would be upset, when a student damage one. but it only had more of a sentimental value. alot of my friends and family decorate their homes with chinese antiques in the
1980's, and bought mostly oriental rugs and fine china. just ask any chinese antique dealer who sold in the 1980's in auction. back then chinese
arts dealers, go to people homes to sell their antiques. and come with a truck load with oriental rugs. chinese art galley at that time, were more rare than qianlong mark.
