<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 516825, member: 78&quot;]Hi JayBee,</p><p>&nbsp; Thank you for your information. I only heard of the term when I started to collect Chinese porcelains. I had a wonderful teacher from the Met. We became friends and she tried to show me what to look for. We sat down on the floor of Altman&#039;s department store in Manhattan. There had to be thousands of pieces of porcelain in stacks. We spent hours there picking out pieces. I gathered out about 25 pieces that I thought were old and valuable. Miss Wu went through my 25 pieces and picked out 7 that she thought were suitable for my beginning collection. She ended up with 3 for hers. It was a magical four hours. I member spending 65 dollars for the ten pieces. 25 years later I sold 6 pieces of the collection for over 8 grand. They all went back to China. I still have about 18 pieces that I Would not sell since they have special meaning to me. I have notes on them but I still think they will tossed onto the trash truck when I die.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
