How do I clean old porcelain figures?

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush to prevent accumulation in delicate crevices and painted folds. Avoid immersing pieces in water, particularly older examples with delicate overglaze enamels or gilt highlights that might lift.

Are these figures painted by hand?

Most antique and vintage examples feature hand-painted enamel details applied over the initial glaze layer by skilled ceramic artists. Close inspection often reveals subtle brushstrokes and individual variations between pieces sharing the same model number.

What is the difference between porcelain and earthenware?

Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures until the ceramic body vitrifies, making it dense, hard and sometimes translucent. Earthenware is more porous and opaque, requiring a complete glaze layer to achieve impermeability.

How can I tell the age of a figure?

Makers marks stamped or painted on the underside provide the most reliable clue to a piece's origin and production period. Stylistic cues such as costume details and modelling techniques also help narrow down the decade.
