Questions About Rare China Sets
- Are China sets worth anything?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The value of China depends on the brand as well as the age of the set. Antique pieces from certain companies such as Lenox or Welmar, particularly if they are rare, will be of higher value than newer items from a brand that engages in mass production.
- What is a set of china?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A set of china refers to a set of tableware. Porcelain, a durable and nonporous kind of pottery made from clay and stone, was first made in China and spread across the world owing to the trade routes to the Far East established by Dutch and Portuguese merchants. Given its origin, English speakers called porcelain “fine china,” an expression you still might hear today. "Fine" indeed — for over a thousand years, it has been a highly sought-after material. A set of china is likely to include dinner plates, bread plates, cups and other items. Find antique and vintage china on 1stDibs.
