Great video. I have made and saved a lot of money by investing in a quality loupe, you can see the differences using it as well, for example brush strokes in paint. As for future video suggestion, how about showing the differences between prints, impressions, watercolours, oil and pastels, you have the skills and knowledge to show the differences for that for sure. Just teaching how to tell a print from real thing, that would be a great benefit, until my loupe I made a lot of mistakes, maybe there are tricks unknown to us.

How to get Rosie intereted in antiques: hide dog treats inside them! (I was going to ask, but she's a dog so.... ) That said, one thing I know little to nothing about is Continental furniture from the Victorian era. The proper names for such, for starters! Secessionist /Jugendstil pieces generally make themselves known, but anything earlier and I get lost.

Hi David, I recently got into collecting royal doulton's bunnykins collection (mainly the dinnerware) and wonder if you've ever gone down that rabbit hole?! Would love to hear your thoughts! The history of bunnykins can be abit skewered, and simplified online.

Hello David, I'm a newbie here on your KZfaq channel but I'm loving and appreciating your vast knowledge and your outstanding explanations. Question: Do you foresee a time in the future when bone china figurines will increase in price? It seems to me that crystal (ie Waterford), bone china figurines (ie Royal Doulton), and even bone china place settings/dishes (ie Minton, Anysley, Paragon, etc), are of no monetary value these days. Thank you SO much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us❣️ (🇨🇦)

Hi David, Wonderful video! I have a question. I had the good luck to see several pieces of Flora Danica, and I asked to touch it to see if I could feel the hand painting, and it was perfectly flat and I couldn’t tell it was hand painted looking at it. I have bought numerous place settings of Haviland Louvinciennes recently (spot spelling), and I cannot find out if it is hand painted. Some say yes, others say no. I don’t know if you’re still checking this thread, but if so, I’d love to hear if you know.

This is grrat video. As far as hand painting goes, there are also variations. In some cases an initial transfer is applied onto the clay body. In another step someone traces over that with a brush. Or instead of painting with a brush thry might stamp things. Perhaps they'd use stencils. Or they might be made in an assembly lines. Such techniques can be considered handpainted insofar as they aren't tranferware. However , they can be badly painted. on high quality pieces - figures and designs are typically extraordinarily well painted, great shading, not stiff or zombie like, and richly detailed....like a grade of A on a homework assignment father than C+

@@DavidHarperAntiquesTV re: Chinese ceramics - pieces from museums, books, and the most prestigious auction houses typically showcase the very best pieces - often they're for the imperial court. While such "museum pieces" are fine examples to study and learn from, most ceramics of the time weren't quite as fine, and China's history is vast, as it's geography. There were thousands of kilns, artisans of different skill levels, making products for all price points. With such diversity if can be easy to think an old lower quality piece is modern if they do not embody all the characteristics of imperial pieces. On the other hand, an imperial looking piece that goes for $100 will almost surely be fake - particularly if it comes in multiples

ok but what if the transfer is a punch of flowers on the side?

Hello , I do have a problem. I have a 1877 or so Ginna and Co. N Y tobacco tin made for Thomas H Halls “Between the Acts” Hall cigarettes. There is a young girl on top Angele. Lithograph. In addition is inside. 3 x 1 inches in almost perfect shape. I can’t find another but do see examples. It’s on eBay now 5/15/2024. Antique cigarette tin. I have a man asking me to take 900.00 I am asking 1,500.00 could you please help me along with this. I feel it’s a gem but not sure. I picked it up at estate sale month ago. Love your show , thank you ! Terry

@DavidHarperAntiquesTV Ай бұрын

First profit is always the best Terry. If you’re making good money at 900 after buying from an estate sale, I’d take it. Push the price up a bit first though

I was wondering, when you lived in America, did you ever come across the works of Walter Anderson (painter) or the mad potter of Biloxi (George e. Ohr). Thank you

I can’t say I did. But, in those days I shipped furniture from the uk to sell there mainly. Although I did bring back a container of American antiques. Wonderful American Georgian style sofas from the early 20th century did very well here

Dear David, quick question. If upon close observation there is somewhat of a gridlike pattern is that texture of the plate or a telltale printing sign? an artist signature is painted over the plate however and it does not have the tiny tiny grid pattern. Please and thank you

Sounds very much like a transfer

If a piece of china or teapot has no marking or simply a number does that mean it is pre 1891?

More than likely. Not always the case though, as the item might be modern. You need to have an idea that it’s an antique piece first

It’s not unusual. Many factories were producing tea sets in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some didn’t even put their factory mark on. They’re sadly very low or no value, but fun to use
