Uchida Art in Kyoto is a well-known publisher of reprints, though I can't find that particular print in stock on their website. These seem to...
This looks much nicer than run-of-the-mill Chinese soapstone carvings because it's made of a higher quality stone, with a more sophisticated...
Impossible to state with absolute certainty on the basis of photos alone, but most likely "xiu yan jade," which really isn't jade -- nephrite or...
I should have been clearer; though the mark on the first piece is a bit haphazard, I think both pieces are marked 暁山 Gyouzan.
I have seen an ink jet printer put a faint copy of some famous painting on canvas, which the "artist" then uses as a guide; it makes scaling a...

The second one is contemporary giftware from the 華山 Kazan Kiln at Arita. Search these characters on Google Images: 華山窯 有田 .
This is a porcelain plaque. They can have considerable value, even if modern, when painted by a famous hand. I can't make out the artist's name on...
This is certainly a suspicious piece: the crinkle glaze seems overdone and there's that full-orange base. Nonetheless, modern Chinese fakes don't...
I just searched my files and while I've got a thread for the Daoguang-era gun you once posted, I apparently didn't save the thread for this...
I can‘t help you out right now, but if it's still useful I can check next week to see if I saved anything from those threads. OH put an awful lot...
