Antique Sevres Porcelain

Sevres porcelain can be very valuable. A lot depends on the age, size, subject and detail of the piece. Sevres made many porcelain boxes, vases, dish ware, urns, clocks and much more. In many instances, it is hard to determine if an item is Sevres because the vases are sometimes turned into lamps. In order to tell for sure the lamp is Sevres, you have 2 options. First you can look for an artist signature and find out if the artist is known as a working with the Sevres company. The second option would be to take the lamp apart and check for the Sevres mark underneath the base. Many don’t want to take a chance on damaging the lamp, so they simply list the description as “Sevres style” when selling. In todays market, many reproductions and fakes have emerged.
