How can you tell if ceramics are antique?
1 Answer

To tell if ceramics are antique, you have two main options available. One approach is to conduct online research using trusted sources. By looking up the maker's mark, you can learn more about the company or artisan that produced the ceramics and get tips on how to date their pieces. Any ceramics that are 100 years old or older are antiques. You can also have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer evaluate your pieces.
