Luo Guoxin has worn thick eyeglasses since primary school, but that has not stopped him becoming one of the best china connoisseurs in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province.
The 49-year-old is the son of a porcelain-making couple, and he can easily tell the type and age of china from just ceramic chips.
He calls himself a "scavenger" and sees shards of ceramics buried underneath construction sites as great treasures. Luo is a regular at an antique market where he recently found fragments of a rare jar with a blue-and-white qinghua floral pattern.
