However, in Europe and America today, a significant portion of antique bone china consumers are discerning members of the middle class. Perhaps due to the wider selection and more mature market for antiques in these regions, collections are often categorized by era or type. For instance, pieces from the older George (1714-1830) or Victoria (1873-1904) eras are rarer in the market and collectors are reluctant to part with them. Currently, pieces from the Edwardian (1905-1910) and Art Deco (1925-1945) periods are seeing a growing number of collectors. Newcomers or interested buyers might consider starting by choosing pieces with compositions, colors, and designs that personally appeal to them. ♥~ Annie's View on Collecting Antique Porcelain: Collecting antique porcelain is akin to collecting art. Each piece reflects the collector's personal taste, as well as the historical context and emotions of its time. Moreover, it offers the joy of sharing afternoon tea with friends. The most significant benefit is the enrichment of knowledge gained during the collecting process, making it a truly rewarding hobby. Origin/Manufacturing Method: Made in England
