Quick value checklist

  • Photograph the full figurine, base, mark, model number, size, damage, repairs, and any box or certificate.
  • Separate porcelain, ceramic, bronze, marble, jade, netsuke, and souvenir figurines.
  • Check fingers, flowers, ears, bases, glaze, and restoration under strong light.

Key value drivers

Figurines can range from low-value decorative pieces to strong sculptural or maker-driven objects. Material, maker, series, condition, and model rarity matter more than age alone.

Condition and authenticity cautions

Auction records do not prove your old figurines value. Repairs, restoration, chips, cracks, crazing, fake marks, missing parts, replaced pieces, and incomplete sets can materially change value.

Photo checklist

  • Full object or set, front, back, base, maker marks, model or pattern number, measurements, and scale reference.
  • Close-ups of chips, cracks, crazing, repairs, restoration, boxes, certificates, labels, receipts, and provenance notes.
