Is antique porcelain worth anything?

1 Answer
Is antique porcelain worth anything?
Yes, some antique porcelain is worth something. Many collectors actively seek out certain types of porcelain that are at least 100 years old. Some favorites among collectors include Chinese pottery, china crafted by makers like Rosenthal and Lenox and figurines produced by Meissen, Dresden, Nymphenburg and Capodimonte. Generally, the type, style, age, maker and condition will all play a role in determining how much antique porcelain is worth. If you wish to have any pieces in your collection evaluated, use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a variety of antique porcelain on 1stDibs.
