How do I identify Chinese export porcelain?

How do I identify Chinese export porcelain?
To identify Chinese export porcelain, first look for a mark. Most pieces made after 1891 feature a maker's mark that you can research using authoritative online resources. Identifying older porcelain ware is more difficult. A licensed appraiser can provide assistance. You'll find a range of expertly vetted Chinese export porcelain on 1stDibs.
