How can you tell fake Meissen?
1 Answer

To tell fake Meissen apart from genuine pieces, start with the maker's markings. Found on the bottom of most Meissen porcelain wares, these marks evolved over the years, and you can find images of them on the pages of trusted online resources. While counterfeiters may try to emulate these marks, they often make errors. As a result, you can often spot a fake simply by comparing the mark on your piece to online images. If you still have doubts about whether or not your piece is real, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you with the authentication process.
