However, in reality, a significant portion of antique bone china consumers in Europe and America today are discerning members of the middle class. Perhaps it's because the antique market in Europe and America offers a wider selection and is more mature. Antique collections are typically categorized by era or type. For instance, pieces from earlier periods like the George (1714-1830) or Victoria (1873-1904) eras are less commonly found in the market, and collectors are often 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 and colors they personally admire. ♥~Annie's Thoughts 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 mood of the time it was acquired. Beyond that, it offers the joy of sharing afternoon tea with friends. Most importantly, it's a rewarding hobby that broadens one's knowledge during the collecting process – truly a pastime with multiple benefits. Origin/Manufacturing Method: Made in England
