Recommending links in this forum

[admin]

If recommending any museum or other websites for viewing, please make sure if their items are their own, or others. For example, check if the actual item source is reliable before posting the link.
With an  online collection or museum, check if they have attributions of the source displayed with the shown items. Items should be from a well known "museum" or collection of Chinese ceramics, check if  it is a well known, reliable institution in view to Chinese antiques.
Few museums do actually have the capacity to authenticate their Chinese ceramics  collections. Possibly there are less than twenty, worldwide, which are capable to do this. Where no proper attribution is made in online exhibitions, the source may be questionable.
Take everything with a grain of salt when it comes to Chinese antiques... the average museum curator may not have the time to learn the vast peripheral knowledge required with Chinese ceramics.

Please understand that we wish to avoid the dissemination of information that may be inaccurate, or outright wrong.
Your understanding is appreciated.
