But not always. Once, I bought a pair of maybe, antique gaibeis at Taipei's flea market (Hsin Sheng and Pa-Teh Rd). It looked genuine, but the tea I made in them would turn bad. It would give me a heavy feeling on my tongue, like eating clay. Beginner's mistake.
I therefore agree with Jan-Erik Nilsson's recommendation that you have to spend 10% of your antique acquisition budget on books on the subject. But before you spend any money, here is an advice that won't cost anything more than a little of your time: Visit his site. There is a lot of material for all tastes and nice pictures of Chinese antiques.
