My pleasure. Thank you for saying so

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.

How about how to dress and deport yourself like an antique dealer? Could be a humorous video 😆. Thanks for the content by the way, always learning from you.

Hello David, I'm a newbie here on your RU-vid 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❣️ (🇨🇦)

@@sjt609 I do Susan. These traditional pieces collapsed in value in recent years, but I see them all increasing in price little by little

Thank you! Cheers!

Excellent information, thank you

@@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

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'm an American, and don't I wish! I look at the art pottery in thrifts and rummage sales and ... yeah well. (LOL)

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

Sounds very much like a transfer

@@DavidHarperAntiquesTV Thank you so much. I enjoy your videos, very helpful. All my love!

That sound like another video for me to make

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
