What are Chinese figurines?

Chinese figurative sculptures vary widely depending on the medium and intended use. Ornate Buddhist figures assisted ritual meditation, wooden ancestor figures embodied the lingering spirit of a relative, ceramic mingqi burial figures accompanied one’s spirit in the afterlife, and decorative export sculptures presented an idealized version of Chinese culture and beauty.

How do I know if my figurines are valuable?

To know if your figurines are valuable, first try to determine the maker. Look for markings on the bottoms or backs of your figurines to get started. You can snap a photo of the markings and perform a reverse image search online or type a description of them into a search engine. Once you have determined the maker, you can do research to learn how much figurines similar to yours have sold for in the past. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer assess your piece and give you an estimate of how much it is worth based on its type, maker, age and condition. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of figurines.

How do I date Goebel figurines?

To date Goebel figurines, examine the mark on the bottom. Goebel employed more than a dozen hallmarks over the years. By matching the one on your piece to an authoritative resource, you can estimate the date of your figurine. You'll find a range of expertly vetted Goebel figurines on 1stDibs.

Are all Staffordshire figurines marked?

No. In fact, most Staffordshire figurines are not marked. Staffordshire figurines made from 1740 to the mid-1900s don’t generally have a maker’s mark, since they were produced by unknown, small manufacturers. Those manufactured by Kent between 1944 and 1962 feature a black printed mark that reads “Staffordshire Ware Kent Made in England.” Shop a collection of Staffordshire figurines from top sellers on 1stDibs.

Where are KPM figurines made?

KPM figurines are made in Berlin, Germany. KPM stands for Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin. In English, the name is the Royal Porcelain Factory in Berlin. You can find a variety of KPM figurines from top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.

How do you identify Goebel figurines?

To identify Goebel figurines, look for the maker's mark on the bottom. The porcelain maker began adding marks to its pieces in 1935 and has used a variety of logos to identify pieces since. Once you have located the marking, compare it to images of the company's markings available on the pages of trusted online resources to determine whether the figurine is an authentic Goebel and get a rough idea of when it was made. If you need assistance, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced antiques dealer. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Goebel figurines.

What are Chinese figurines called?

One type of Chinese figurines that is quite popular is shekwan or mudware. These small handmade figurines are often called mudmen and are, not surprisingly, crafted out of mud. In the early 1950s, a new era of mudman figurines began but these are not made individually and by hand. On 1stDibs, find authentic shekwan pieces from some of the world’s top sellers.

How do you clean Chinese figurines?

Most figurines just need a light dusting every once in a while. For a deeper cleaning to remove residue (such as nicotine or adhesives), try soaking in warm soapy water and gently washing with a soft cloth.

What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic figurines?

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.

How can I tell if a figurine is ceramic or porcelain?

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.

How do I spot an antique porcelain figurine?

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.

How can I tell if Staffordshire figurines are real?

To tell if Staffordshire figurines are real, turn them over. An authentic Staffordshire will have a hole in the base due to the press-molded firing technique. Also, artisans hand-painted the figurines, so no two ever show off the exact same variations in color. Staffordshire didn't add maker's marks to their pieces. If you see a name on a decorative object, it is unlikely to be authentic. Find a collection of expertly vetted Staffordshire figurines on 1stDibs.

Are Chinese figurines small or large?

Chinese figurines come in all shapes and sizes. Most figures measure between 4” and 18” tall, with some being as small as 1” in height or as large as 36” (or more) in height

Which Royal Doulton figurines are rare?

Many Royal Doulton figurines are rare. Among them are prototypes, which usually feature markings that say "Factory Proof," "Design Sample," "Survey Figure" or "Property of Royal Doulton Tableware produced for sale." Limited-edition figurines and older ones in exceptional condition also tend to be rarer. Some examples of rare and highly sought-after Royal Doulton figurines include the RailRoad Guard, designed by B. Harper; the Virginia HN2844, made in 1978; the Rose Garden HN4559, produced in 1994; and Juno and the Peacock HN2827, circa 1984. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Royal Doulton figurines.

Is W. Schillig furniture made in China?

Yes, some W. Schillig furniture is made in China. The luxury sofa-maker’s headquarters are located in Germany, with other manufacturing factories located in Germany, Hungary and the Czech Republic. You can shop a collection of W. Schillig furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

Does Royal Copenhagen still make figurines?

Yes, Royal Copenhagen still produces some figurines. However, most of the manufacturer's most well-known lines are no longer in production. As of January 2022, only the annual figurines are still currently in production. Today, Royal Copenhagen is a brand owned by Fiskars Group rather than an independent company. You'll find a collection of Royal Copenhagen figurines on 1stDibs.

Can a Fornasetti porcelain figurine be factory-made?

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.

How can I tell if a figurine is ceramic or porcelain?
1 Answer
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.

How can I tell if Staffordshire figurines are real?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
To tell if Staffordshire figurines are real, turn them over. An authentic Staffordshire will have a hole in the base due to the press-molded firing technique. Also, artisans hand-painted the figurines, so no two ever show off the exact same variations in color. Staffordshire didn't add maker's marks to their pieces. If you see a name on a decorative object, it is unlikely to be authentic. Find a collection of expertly vetted Staffordshire figurines on 1stDibs.
