Antique porcelain refers to pieces of porcelain that were produced many years ago and are considered valuable because of their age, rarity, and aesthetic qualities. It is a type of ceramic material made by heating materials such as porcelain, kaolin, feldspar and quartz at high temperatures. Antique porcelain pieces were often made by skilled artisans and craftsmen who meticulously crafted each piece by hand.

One of the most important aspects of antique porcelain is the presence of traces of porcelain. Porcelain marks are inscriptions or symbols that are usually stamped on the bottom of a piece of porcelain. These marks can provide important information about the maker, the period the piece was made, and the place of origin.

One of the most famous porcelain brands is the Meissen brand. Meissen porcelain was first produced in Germany in the early 18th century and is considered one of the finest porcelain ever made. The Meissen brand features the crossed sword design and is considered a symbol of quality and craftsmanship.

Another famous porcelain brand is the Ming brand. The Ming dynasty in China produced some of the most beautiful and precious porcelain pieces in history. The Ming sign is a symbol of dynasticism and is considered a sign of authenticity and value.

Other famous porcelain brands include the Wedgwood brand associated with the English pottery maker Josiah Wedgwood and the Sevres brand associated with the French porcelain maker Sevres.

Antique porcelain pieces are highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts for their beauty, rarity and historical significance. The presence of porcelain signs can provide important information about the piece and its history and can greatly affect its value in the market.
