Perhaps due to the wider selection and maturity of the antique market in Europe and America, antique collections are often categorized by era or type. For instance, pieces from earlier periods like George (1714-1830) or Victoria (1873-1904) are rarely seen on the market, and collectors are often reluctant to part with them. Currently, however, 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 love. ♥~Annie's Perspective: Collecting antique porcelain is akin to collecting works of art. Each piece reflects the collector's personal taste, as well as the historical context and mood of the time it was acquired. Moreover, it offers the delightful opportunity to share afternoon tea with friends. The added benefit is the enrichment of knowledge gained during the collecting process—truly a hobby with multiple rewards. Origin/Manufacturing Method: Made in England
