How do I identify an antique china pattern?
1 Answer
To identify an antique china pattern, you can either conduct research using trusted online resources or consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. If you prefer to perform the research yourself, start by identifying the maker using the backstamps, usually located on the bottoms of china pieces. Once you know who the maker is, search for online catalogues and image galleries and browse them for similar patterns. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of antique china.
