A while back Peter mentioned this seller who was ranting on about his so-called priceless collection via YouTube.

zzz777771

Chinese Art Collector that is striving to inform the public and expose the corrupt and bias policy of the major auction houses and their crony dealer network

He has since moved on to establish a website,

chinesemasterpieces.com

This guy Joseph Sharon is really deluded. Ranting and raving on with baseless claims about the major auction houses colluding in some kind of conspiracy.

All his items offered for sale are IMO either totally fake or late 20th century reproductions at best.

If this guy is convinced of what he says, then it is a sad case, he needs long sessions on the psychiatrist bed.

But I believe that he is just playing a role. Where he buys all those fake? He knows the provenance, obvious.

It is sad also to see how many unprevented people is believing him. His videos should be banned; dangerous.

Hi Mark and Giovanni,

’All else are wrong - but I’ ... 

Always an interesting point in which to start any discussion from!! He appears totally convinced that these objects are the original and authentic ‘tribute’ wares produced for the Imperial courts, and all other pieces, that archeological and historic reference have attributed as such wares are just ‘merchant or trade class’ wares, but you only have to look at the painting style - Yuan/Ming pieces - to see these ‘World Class’ pieces are very wrong ... 

As Giovanni mentions, he may well be either role playing, or a front for someone/thing else ... I would concur - his videos are very misleading - they should be banned ...

Did you notice how careless he handles his expensive vases? Grabbing them at the neck with one hand and even banging them together when he puts them away. I think he knows very well they are fakes. The whole effort with videos and website pays off if he finds only one buyer. („Special of the month“: only $35.000)

It's pretty bad that his videos are among the first youtube recommends when searching for ming or qing porcelain.

Yes that’s indeed bad, but I think his conspiracy theory wouldn’t even convince a beginner in field of Chinese porcelain. Don’t know how YouTube algorithms work. In my opinion Peter‘s videos should be top of the list.
