Think this way: People who copying do not do it for fun, they do it with intent to sell, for personal profit gain. They rarely make unusual thing, because it will be hard to sell. Mostly, they copy very popular items.
I am not criticizing above post, but I have lots of experiences judged by others too fast. It is very damaging, since many will set their mind there.
This is my experience, I also sell old silver coins. I posted photos in Coin Forum, some members condemn it right away as fake. But one "expert" willing to buy it for fake sample comparison, for over $1,000. It makes me wonder, what is going on? I show it to another reputable expert (face to face, that way I could "read" his face), and he said it is altered (somebody in the past stealing silver materials around edges), but the coin is real, old and rare. A good one will reach $5,000 to $7,500. After authenticated by PCGS, he auctioned for me, sold near $2,500 (including their fees). for coins, there is PCGS, ANAC, catalog and market price. For porcelain, just feeling and word of mouth. The key word here is REPUTABLE expert you could trust. But they are human, sometime made "mistakes" too.
