I recently was looked over a friends personal collection of Chinese porcelain wares, which I thought I might share with everyone here. He deals in colonial antique Shanghai furniture but has picked up some nice porcelain pieces along the way. Very pretty stuff. Amazing how one of the bowls is almost paper thin. Translucent.

Note that these piece are not on display or for sale anywhere and were stuff in a cabinet in the back of his warehouse/shop/home. Personally, my speciality is furniture so I can't really claim to know tons about ceramics. But one thing I have found is that usually the good stuff tends to be hidden away in just those sort of places - off the beaten track, in the back of some warehouse or in someone's attic. In this case, in the back cabinet of a Chinese peasants small warehouse.

I only can put a few images here, so the rest are on our blog at
