Can an app identify porcelain from photos?

It can often identify likely maker, category, and value signals from clear photos, but rare or high-value porcelain may need specialist review.

What porcelain photos should I upload?

Upload full views, base marks, close decoration, damage, repairs, labels, and size.

When is a paid porcelain appraisal worth it?

Use a paid appraisal for insurance, estate, donation, sale support, or when maker, period, or authenticity matters.

Condition and authenticity cautions

Do not price porcelain from photos alone. Repairs, restoration, chips, cracks, crazing, replaced pieces, fake marks, later reproductions, and incomplete sets can change the appraisal path.
