just be careful buying antiques in China, most you see on the streets and antique dealers are all fakes, some are really good too.

3. Even if you could determine the truth from the BS it’s illegal to take genuine antiques out of China. Customs will confiscate it and I don’t know what the exact penalty is but I wouldn’t want to find out.
4. There are professionals that come to China and move antiques out of China and they operate in a very grey, very risky area. You’re best to let them do the leg work and buy it in the US – sorta defeats the purpose, but if you want it that bad….
