How do I identify old dishes?
1 Answer
To identify old dishes, examine the marks that appear on the bottom. If they appear handwritten, your dishes likely date back to before the 19th century. You can use authoritative online resources to research the marks and figure out which company produced them. An expert licensed appraiser can also provide assistance with identification. You'll find a large selection of expertly vetted antique dishes on 1stDibs.
