- Photograph the full object, base, marks, glaze, decoration, damage, repairs, and size.
- Separate porcelain, pottery, earthenware, stoneware, figurines, dinnerware, vases, and decorative ceramics.
- Use the free screener for triage; use a paid report when documentation or formal value is needed.
Key value drivers
Ceramic value depends on material, maker, mark, age, form, decoration, condition, restoration, rarity, and the correct comparison market.

Condition and authenticity cautions
Do not price ceramics from photos alone. Repairs, restoration, chips, cracks, crazing, replaced pieces, fake marks, later reproductions, and incomplete sets can change the appraisal path.
Photo checklist
- Full object or set, front, back, base, maker marks, pattern, decoration, measurements, and scale reference.
- Close-ups of chips, cracks, crazing, repairs, restoration, labels, signatures, boxes, receipts, and provenance notes.
