Antique ceramics

Antique ceramics refer to pottery and porcelain items that are over 100 years old, valued for their historical significance, craftsmanship, and artistry. These objects include dishes, vases, and figurines, often made with techniques and styles popular in different cultures and eras. Collectors and historians appreciate them for their beauty and rarity, as well as the insights they provide into past societies. To qualify as "antique," the ceramics must be original pieces, not reproductions. Factors affecting their value include age, condition, maker, and rarity.
