How do I identify the period of a ceramic lady statue?

Examine the style of dress, hair, and base markings, as these reflect the design ethos of periods like Art Deco or the Victorian era. Compare the glaze type and manufacturing technique with known examples from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to narrow down the date of creation.

Where should I display my porcelain figurine?

Place figures in stable locations away from direct sunlight and heavy foot traffic to protect delicate painted details and protruding accessories. Enclosed cabinets or sturdy mantelpieces offer safe display while allowing the form and colours to be appreciated from a distance.

What is the difference between porcelain and earthenware statues?

Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures until vitrified, resulting in a dense, non-porous material that often exhibits translucency. Earthenware is fired at lower temperatures, producing a more porous body that requires a glaze to hold water and display colour.

How do I clean an antique ceramic figure safely?

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or feather duster to remove surface particles without disturbing fragile painted enamel or gold leaf. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, particularly on unglazed biscuit porcelain or parian ware, which can absorb moisture and stain.
