How can I tell if my china is valuable?
To tell if your china is valuable, first identify the maker using the markings typically found on the bottoms of pieces. You can take a photograph and perform a reverse image search or type a description of the mark into a search engine. Then, use trusted online resources to determine who the maker is and see how much pieces that are similar to yours have sold for in the past. Since the condition can also impact valuation, consider consulting a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer who can inspect your piece and give you an estimate of how much it is worth.
