How can you tell vintage porcelain figurines?

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.
