Hi Edward,
They are modern. Save your money and buy some books. It's the best way to learn and enjoy asian art.
Good luck.

Xin is absolutely right. Instead of ten flea market items you could also buy a small authentic piece from a dealer - Ming or Qing is already available from 50 Euro upwards.

Hello all, I thought this was an Asian Art Forum. I apologize if this forum is for only certain time periods, I believed it was for all time periods. That is why I am posting here, because they look like Asian Art to me. Xin what books should I buy to learn Asian Art. I thought, Ancient or Modern, it was still art. Shinigami, you said but a Ming or Qing piece, that to me is not the only time period in Asian Art. The ten flea market items I buy, do better for me on the Buy, Sell, Trade or Keep platform. So, some of the pieces I post or posted are for this platform. Also, some piece may be from a famous Modern Artist and that is also why I'm here. Art spans the life of the earth, that is why I post the pieces I do. Again, sorry if this is not the site for all Asian art. Thank you for the help.
Edward M.
Sorry Edward but you are wrong. By saying modern Xin meant that it is not a piece of art. Unless you think that doing something, more or less in Chinese taste, could be called "Art".
If you are referring to modern artists, of course they do exist, but be sure that their pieces will cost much more than what you paid those items. And you will not find them at trift stores. Do you really think that a today's artist will make something to be sold at trift stores?
Giovanni
Giovanni, I was not assuming that. I was assuming that he meant "Modern", and to whatever country made it as theirs, not doing in Chinese taste. I posted a bowl a week or so ago and was told other locations and that is where I began to look and research. I dont believe that every piece at Thrift stores are of today's artist, but pieces of all art and history have been found in Thrift stores. I was talking to two doctors I work with, who told me, "Think about the veterans of WWII and the collections of pieces they brought home", "Now think about their children or grandchildren". That is why I buy these pieces, because, "I buy, What catches my eye". Also, I think of the pieces that where "Black Market" (any country) made that may be rare and collectible. Thank you for the help.

Sometimes rare things do turn up in thrift stores or yard sales, but think of the millions of tourists each year who now visit China and each one will bring some 'chinese souvenir' home, items which always looks better on holiday than when you get it home, and then that stuff will turn up, with great regularity , in thrift stores.
Of course you and others may like this new stuff, and may enjoy collecting souvenirs, and that's fine , but I agree with other posters, this does not make it art, even modern art.
China (the country) is a special problem because of the swathes of fakes and reproductions now being produced, so it's a constant battle to see through the rubbish on ebay etc. , hence why the Bidamount newsletter, and Peter's videos are so very valuable, as time savers and learning tools. So that's why people here might get a bit frustrated if the forum gets swamped by obvious fakes.
I think Xin's advice is good, learn about Chinese art online and through books, before you buy. Personally I find art books far too expensive , but there are lots of good online resources.

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
