<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9740816, member: 2844&quot;]A lot of it is, that is the problem. If I buy anything Chinese nowadays, I try to check if it has been in Europe for a long time. Which means I hardly buy Chinese art anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also Chinese state warehouses with truly antique treasures that were confiscated/stolen from temples, monasteries and private people during the Cultural Revolution. Those items are sold internationally now. Those are genuine antiques, but I&#039;d rather not buy one because they are someone else&#039;s property imo. I know an item won&#039;t be returned to the temples and people if I don&#039;t buy it, but I don&#039;t want to facilitate state looting.</p><p>Kaiser is Chinese, so if this is one of those stolen items, at least it will be with someone from the same culture. I&#039;m not saying it is though, it could have been in the West for a long time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
