我是在这边中国超市景德镇瓷器展买的， 尽管已经杀价到二折，还是贵得要命。质量倒还不错， 都是全手绘。两件青花是釉下彩，三足香炉是釉上彩，上有镂空。瓷器上没有任何瑕纰。不知这样的瓷器在北京上海多少钱可以买到。如果便宜下回自己带，不在这边买了。
The tag price for the two blue and white pieces is $290 each. I think they worth 290 RMB (retail price). The sales told me that the sell price has to be at least 4X buy-in price to make it even for them (shipping, rent, sales people travel, etc.) They know that Chinese like to bargain, so they artificially inflate the price to leave themselves room for bargaining. They normally sell these pieces at 50% off tag price. So they must have a comfortable margin at this price. Usually at the end of the show, they sell them at 70-80% off. That probably is close to their get even price (still 4x buy-in price). If I can find these pieces in Beijing or Shanghai, they will not be the wholesale price either. I will have to pay retail price, which is probably twice or more of the whole sale price. That means, I could get them for half the price what I paid here in the US.
Last night, I checked the price for Jing De Zhen porcelain on the Chinese online shopping websites. The better pieces are between 500-1000 RMB online, and commoners are 200-300 RMB. That is really not much cheaper than the price in the US.
