Is Japanese porcelain valuable?

1 Answer
Is Japanese porcelain valuable?
Yes, some Japanese porcelain is valuable. Many collectors prize porcelain ware produced in Japan during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and demand for pieces from this period can be high due to the demand. Some types that are particularly sought include Arita ware, Seto ware and Mino ware. The value of a particular piece depends on its age, maker, style and condition. A certified appraiser or expert dealer can help you determine how much your porcelain is worth. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of Japanese porcelain.
