Hi All,
I am doing research on Chinese Scrolls and Ceramics. I am not an expert on internet research and could not find out right source for information. If you could suggest some good sites it would be a great help.
Thanks

um what type of information are you looking for (famous works or the way they're created or something else?) and I wonder if you could read Chinese? happy.gif

You might want to search Google (or any other good search engine) and enter keyword: Dunhuang

This will give you several links to research as well as images of ancient scrolls and artifacts found in the early 1900's from some 1500 years ago. One of the caves discovered was actually set up as a library. Dunhuang is situated on the old Silk Road and the desert climate was perfect for preserving a treasure trove of information regarding culture and art.

Hope this helps! ohmy.gif

I have acquired a piece of work that I think is an original. I have only found one website that gives me any info. The site only features 10 pieces for sale. Can anyone tell me where I can go to find out more?

It's not in English or Chinese but has some great examples.

Hello! I have recently acquired a lovely Shoushan Stone/Asian Pottery & Ceramics work
at an auction however I am not sure where to begin with my research of it's origins. I am wondering if anyone may be able to lend me their expertise in this area? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
