Sung, very cheap, $50. Now It has to be remembered that Chinese porcelain is a life study and not to be lightly undertaken by a novice, that real Ming or Sung would cost nearer $500 than $50, and that experts from all over the world are commissioned by the hig dealers to buy fine pieces as they come on the market. In the cir cumstances it is unlikely that the amateur will make any sensational bargains, and the best line to take is to select something you really like and, disregarding the fancy price asked, offer what it is worth to you. You may not get all the lovely things you covet but you will get a proportion of them. There is one shop, however, where prices are more or less fixed and one may obtain a plece of genuine Sung for $900 or so; it contains specimens of every kind of objet de vertu that China produces and is well worth a visit even from those who have no intention of buy- Ing.
