Over 3500 items of popular Chinese and Japanese antiques—such as blue-and-white ginger jars, richly carved lacquer boxes, and jade jewelry—receive illustrated, detailed, and up-to-date coverage in this excellent entry in the popular Miller’s Buyer’s Guide series. It’s first divided by type of ware (such as furniture and ceramics) and then subdivided by country for ease of reference. Each section contains practical guidance on collecting, what to be aware of when starting out, how to spot fakes, and ways to avoid making expensive mistakes.

Too many black and white pictures,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miller's: Chinese & Japanese Antiques: Buyer's Guide (Hardcover)
I bought this book to help me discern chinese porcelain and learn a little more about the oriental collectables. This book has too many black and white photos and falls short of being a necessary refrence guide.

A great sampler.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miller's: Chinese & Japanese Antiques: Buyer's Guide (Hardcover)
Encompassing 2000 years of history, and everything from ceramics to furniture to Mao era propaganda, it isn't a comprehensive guide to any one subject. It isn't meant to be; nevertheless it serves as a full intro to the field in one portable volume. Several thousand pieces with prices in Brit pounds (most for museum quality specimens, not the more everyday kind). About 70% b&w, though does include some lovely color sections. Still a bargain.

This review is from: Miller's Buyer's Guide: Chinese & Japanese Antiques (Hardcover)
Another great book by Miller's containing a lot of good information about Asian antiquities. Many photos, could use more in color.
