Collecting Asian Art: "Porcelain"
Porcelain is an integral thread of the fabric of Chinese culture. In the 14th century, while Europeans were still eating from low-fired earthenware or wooden dishes, the Chinese had developed the first underglazed porcelain. They were using cobalt, originally imported from Iran during the Yuan period (1279-1368 A.D.), to add exceptional shades of color, from pale blue to nearly black, to translucent white wares. As soon as Marco Polo brought back a few samples, the world couldn't―and still can't―get enough of it.
Copper is the other basic color of underglaze decoration. It delivers hues that range from the first muddy brown of the early Ming dynasty to the true red of the 18th century. "Peach bloom" or "unripened peach" is a greenish tinge produced when copper has oxidized.
Overglaze decoration was done in various kinds of enamels and called famille rose (a French expression meaning "pink family"). There is famille verte (green), famille noire (black), and famille jaune (yellow). Pieces with a black background enameled in famille rose or in combinations such as rose-verte (pink and green) was a late-17th-century innovation. It is generally agreed that overglaze enamel decoration reached its height in the 18th century.
The Japanese at this time were also developing porcelain, mostly in the form of ceremonial objects like the tea ceremony. The famous Satsuma porcelain you hear so much about was a 17th-century innovation, adopted from Korea and then greatly improved upon. By the Meiji period (1868- 1912) the Japanese had taken enameling to a new level. High fired and reflecting the Japanese characteristics of meticulousness, precision and definition, these porcelain paintings were highly conceptual. The art of Japanese enameled porcelains peaked between 1880 and 1920, whereas Chinese porcelain was at its best between 1710 and 1810.
In the last few years, particularly beautiful and particularly rare porcelains have become inordinately valuable. In March 2008, we sold a large Hongwu vase during Asia Week in New York City for $1.2 million. Fortunately, there is still a tremendous amount of beauty to be found in within an affordable price range. Slight flaws will bring the price way down, and yet the items are still very collectible and consistently appreciate in value.
Generally speaking, flaws on the glaze occur most frequently during firing. While several overglaze colors can theoretically be fired at the same time, more often than not they are fired separately. If gilded, the gold was the last to go on. It is the first to wear off.
When evaluating a particular piece of porcelain, start by viewing it as though it were perfect and determine what price perfection. (Access our online catalogs and the prices realized for each auction to use as a reliable price guide.) From there, adjudicate the flaws in the piece and judge the value in its current condition.
My own opinion is that very fine porcelain pieces with some damage or restoration are great buys today. A Ch'ien Lung bowl, for instance, in perfect condition would be out of the reach of most people. But if you find one with a small chip that was expertly repaired and the bowl would make a beautiful addition to your collection, buy it. They aren't making them like that anymore and the chances of it holding its value, even appreciating, is enormous.
As for copies, you can spot them fairly easily. The decoration is usually too carefully drawn. Since porcelain does not show a lot of wear, you will notice immediately if a piece looks like somebody has taken fine steel wool and scrubbed it, put it up on a buffing wheel or tried to tone it down with chemicals.
Japanese porcelain from the Meiji period and notably from the Kutani (nine rivers Nine Rivers?) region has never really been effectively reproduced; the repros that do exist are noticeably inferior. Also, few reproductions come out of Japan these days.

several dslr questions Q1) how large of a high quality image can i print w 12mp @ 100 iso and a fixed lens?
2) Can I use my sb 900 flash on a canon dslr, if i use it in auto mode and manually set the f-stop and and iso?
3) will a 35mm lens for a non full-framed dslr like a d90 or t2i be equivalent to a 50mm lens for a 35mm film camera, in terms of distortion? i know that there is a 1.5 or 1.6 ratio in regard to calculations how zoomed in your lens will be, based on the size of the sensor. However someone told me that even though a 35mm lens on a dslr is almost equivalent in zoom it will still cause distortion on the dslr. I also heard that this is untrue. I want zero distortion because I want to do accurate art reproduction photos.
4) I'm considering getting a t2i, 7d, or a850 for more resolution, in regard to the art repros. Any recommendations? I already have a d90, which i might use for the art repros, might sell it, or might hotrod it.
how large of a high quality image can i print w 12mp @ 100 iso and a fixed lens?
Your D90 can provide an image file that is 4,288 x 2,848 pixels that will provide the following:
14.293 by 9.493 inches at 300dpi
and
23.822 by 15.822 inches at 180dpi
If you stay at least at 180dpi then that is about your range, also shoot RAW files. The next big step if you are wanting more quality is to get a full frame (35mm film size) sensor camera or a medium format sensor camera (see first link below) like a Phase One camera, Hasselblad, or Mamiya. I would not leap to anymore DSLR cameras unless you are going to a bigger sensor.
Can I use my sb 900 flash on a canon dslr, if i use it in auto mode and manually set the f-stop and and iso?
If it is dedicated for Nikons then there will be limits but I really do not know since I am a rare flash user. Be certain of these sort of details so you know the full impact of switching brands.
will a 35mm lens for a non full-framed dslr like a d90 or t2i be equivalent to a 50mm lens for a 35mm film camera, in terms of distortion? i know that there is a 1.5 or 1.6 ratio in regard to calculations how zoomed in your lens will be, based on the size of the sensor.

Yes, a 35mm focal length lens on a Nikon DX DSLR (like your D90) is equal to a 52.5mm lens.
I'm considering getting a t2i, 7d, or a850 for more resolution, in regard to the art repros. Any recommendations? I already have a d90, which i might use for the art repros, might sell it, or might hotrod it.
Go to a bigger sensor, your D90 is an excellent camera use it until you figure out what option. The D700 is great and there is rumor if it getting replaced with something better.
Hope this helps.
