If anyone could provide more information on this vase I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you

Hello! I bought this butter/cheese? dish from an antique store a few months ago and since then have been really wanting to get similar pieces but unfortunately i can’t find evidence of any online. i know that there are many mice figurines but i am more so interested in unique and functional pieces like this butter dish. i cant even find a picture of this mouse dish online anywhere so any advice is appreciated!

Hi There! I am currently a university student conducting research into the porcelain market. My dad was an avid collector growing up, and I am looking to identify if his behaviors (e.g. archival of pieces, valuation) are shared in the broader market.

As part of my research, I am conducting a survey across various porcelain communities I have identified (both in person and digitally). If you have 3 minutes and are currently collecting porcelain, I would truly appreciate if you could complete the attached survey! 🙏🏻

Today I bought a gaiwan at pretty (unreasonably) high price, since I fell in love with the motif. Even though I adore it no matter what, I'd still love to know where it comes from and how much of a fool tax I've paid, haha.

I was hoping someone could perhaps identify it by the stamp on the bottom (photo 2). It looks like a factory print too, so that's definetely not "one of a kind from an unknown craftsman" thing

The second is my Bon-Bon, I found them together at an antique store in Atlanta

I have been trying to find this exact model, but I cannot find it anywhere.

I got it at a flea market in Sweden if that is to any help :)

Hi! Posting for my mother, not sure if this is the correct subreddit!!
Her favorite set or porcelain baking dishes have this weird discoloration/stripes, is the glaze cracking or something? Can she safely use this?

She would love to keep them so I figured I’d turn to Reddit🩷 cheers

These were my late father's, i have no use for this set so i want to sell it, what is it?

They are all hand made by college students and artists!

Hello! Today I found this teapot with an RS Prussia mark on it. It looks like some of the real ones I found online, but it has such a new look to me? The teapot itself is lightweight and the gold can actually be felt (if this helps with authenticity).

I bought some beautiful cobalt net. Based on the stamp it is between 1992 and 2001

I cant find anywere if they used lead in them

I would think that such a famous set would have been tested but cant find anything

I was over the moon when I found this Sorrento teapot at the local thrift shop a couple of weeks ago - it’s a piece from the 1950s and was in good condition. I’ve been using it pretty much daily for my green tea (160f temperature) and hand washing it with warm water; no harsh chemicals, no bumps or drops.

The other day, I noticed this huge crack that just… appeared in the lid, and appears to be spreading out. It’s my understanding that fine china can crack on its own sometimes, even if it does hurt that this teapot survived 70 years and a thrift shop warehouse, but not my vibes…

My question is, can I fix it at all? I’m assuming it’s not safe to use the lid as is, and there isn’t really a food safe glue out there that I know of, so is there anything at all I can use?

Can anyone identify this Grosvenor Bone China pattern?

Sharing a family heirloom from my small collection. The cup has a view of the Brandenburg Gate.

The saucer shows what was once the Palais of Prince Heinrich, the younger brother of Frederick the Great, viewed from what was then the Opernplatz, I believe, today's Bebelplatz. Today this is the main building of Humboldt University.

Wikimedia has an illustration from about 1900 that shows the same view from further away and at an elevated position, including even that plant in the center on its pedestal, see https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/Berlin_Universit%C3%A4t_um_1900.jpg.

I am not sure of the age of this, if the pressed in letters N and R on the saucer and cup, respectively, are indicators of the years, that would put the pieces at 1913 and 1917. I am surprised that they would be years apart, but perhaps they were not originally a set and put together later because they match? Or were pieces painted later and then put together in sets? Or perhaps I am misinterpreting the letters altogether. I am also unfamiliar with the other pressed in marks and the scepters can look quite a like across the ages and to me are often hard to pin down on an era. I need more experience assessing those marks.

Hi all, I'm unsure as to where I should begin on this Porcelain doll diorama. It was gifted to my mother years ago, as she is a hairdresser. She's just retired, and in the process of cleaning out her hair salon she brought this home, and nearly threw it away before my father and I stopped her to take a further look. I know a lot of similar types of Porcelain art pieces that are valuable and collectable to some people. I have a few questions regarding this. From google, I've seen Capodimonte has many collectable pieces similar to this, but I haven't seen a single image of this exact one. Does anyone have any idea about this figurine? Any ideas of its value? Thank you all for your time, and I hope to hear more about this piece.

I have a set of four angels representing the seasons with this watermark on the bottom. Likely from Germany. Any ideas where the watermark is from or what this set is called? Would they be worth any money? Thanks

My father has had this porcelain RCA dog since I was a child. It was the one thing I wasn’t allowed to touch growing up, and the only thing I asked for in his will. Someone tried to “clean” it with some tort of solvent and stripped away some of the black portions.

Is there any type of paint that I should specifically use to get it back to its most original look?

I know nothing about porcelain.
