As with all antiques or collectibles, the condition of your china will be the most vital factor in defining its price, along with age and scarcity. Our appraisers will use a multi-stage appraisal process to fully determine the condition of your china and fine dinnerware. Still, as the seller, you should also be aware of the specific criteria determining a piece’s condition. When inspecting your china, look for the following:
- Signs of cracking, chipping, or fracturing along the tops, bottoms, sides, and near any spouts or handles
- Crazing, which is a network of lines or cracks that reside under the glazing
- Discoloration or staining that is unintended by the creator
- Worn or dulled glazing due to age, wear, or misuse
Even for rare pieces, the price can be drastically altered according to whether or not collectors are currently looking for that item. Most china sells well when a collector is missing a particular piece from a set or when market changes have impacted a group’s scarcity—the importance of how, when, and to whom you sell your china.
We offer peace of mind when the time comes for you to sell your china. iStuffSellers has a team of accredited appraisers with years of experience, dedication, and commitment who are readily available to price your items at the correct market value—we ensure you get the highest price possible.
