Questions About German Porcelain Figurines
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Dresden figurines are small statuettes that typically represent a human or perhaps an animal made out of porcelain. Dresden figurines were actually made in nearby Meissen and then taken to Dresden for sale. These lovely and intricately detailed figurines were highly collectible and are sought-after today. Shop a collection of properly vetted vintage Dresden figurines from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    What German porcelain is called depends on its maker. Pieces produced by the Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen are generally called Meissen porcelain, while Dresden porcelain is the name for those manufactured by the Saxon Porcelain Manufactory in Dresden Ltd. Other names for German porcelain include Rudolstadt porcelain made by Volkstedt Rudolstadt, KPM porcelain made by Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur and Nymphenburg porcelain made by the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of German porcelain wares.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The term ceramic is a generic term that refers to something that is made of clay and solidified through heat. Porcelain falls under the ceramic umbrella, but it incorporates kaolin as an ingredient, creating a white clay. To determine if a figurine is porcelain or stoneware or earthenware, it’s best to examine it. Porcelain is somewhat translucent with a glasslike surface where there is no glaze. Shop a range of antique and vintage porcelain figurines on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    To tell vintage porcelain figurines apart from other pieces, look on the bottom for a maker's mark. Then, consult trusted online resources to determine the approximate time when the manufacturer produced pieces similar to yours. It is vintage if your figurine was manufactured between 20 and 99 years ago. Older figurines are antique, while newer ones are contemporary. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can also assist with the dating and identification process. Shop a wide range of vintage figurines on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    One thing to look for in an antique porcelain figure is to look for the maker’s mark, usually found on the bottom of the piece. The porcelain figure will also have a delicate fragile quality to it. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique porcelain figures from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The difference between porcelain and ceramic figurines is the materials used to produce them. Porcelain is a delicate white material, while ceramic tends to be heavier and varies in color depending on the type of clay used to produce it. Shop a wide range of antique and vintage figurines on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    Yes, some German porcelain is worth something. Many collectors actively seek out pieces from German makers like Meissen, Dresden and Royal Bayreuth. How much porcelain ware is worth also depends on its type, pattern, style and condition. Consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer for more information about the value of any pieces that you own. Find a large selection of German porcelain on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To identify German porcelain marks, use an authoritative online resource. If the mark contains words, enter them into a search engine surrounded by quotation marks. Otherwise, enter a description of the mark. You can also seek the advice of a licensed appraiser. Shop a collection of expertly vetted German porcelain on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    No, every Fornasetti porcelain figurine is handmade. In fact, the brand produces all of their home decorative items by hand at their workshop in Milan, Italy. If you see indications that a figurine came from a factory, it is likely not an authentic Fornasetti. Shop a collection of expertly vetted Fornasetti on 1stDibs.
