How can I tell how old my vase is?
To tell how old your vase is, you'll need to do some research using trusted online resources. Begin by determining who produced your vase, if possible. You can start by examining your vase for a maker's mark. Then, you can learn more about the maker to find out when pieces similar to yours were produced. If you have difficulty locating a marking, try snapping a photo of your vase and conducting a reverse image search to try and identify your piece and learn its age. Alternatively, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you with the dating process. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of vases.
