Welcome to Porcelain Figurines UK | A Huge Selection of The Finest English and German Porcelain Figurines | Advice and Guidance | New Forum

Collecting porcelain figurines is a rewarding pastime, whether you collect the finest Meissen figurines, Royal Worcester or perhaps Coalport or Lladro figurines. Do be on your guard though, there are plenty of counterfeits for sale on the internet and you would be well advised to check the authenticity of a particular figurine before spending your hard earned cash on your purchase.

If you are in any doubt your first step ought to be to clarify the matter with the seller. Email him or her and ask about the provenance of the piece and for details of the stamp on the base of the figurine so that you can do some research before buying. Note also that some pieces come with a Certificate of Authenticity. If in doubt, ask the seller.

When looking at rarer pieces and/or the more expensive pieces, do be aware that there are a number of bulletin boards on the internet where members will happily share their extensive knowledge with you. Don't be afraid to ask and, if you can, post a photograph of the figurine or wall plaque you are considering buying. In the first instance, try our forum or the Bulletin Board at worldcollectorsnet.com.

Alternatively, please feel free to email us!

A good source of porcelain figurines is often car boot sales, where you may well come across a rarer piece unidentified by the seller. Trade and antique fairs offer some real bargains too. Then, of course, there is the internet!

The Origin of Porcelain and Porcelain Figurines

Porcelain is thought to have originated in China although it takes its name from the Italian word ‘Porcellana’. It is often referred to as ‘china’ as well. Essentially, it is made by heating clay and other materials to extreme temperatures in a kiln and the end result is a translucent, impermeable and strong material that is ideal for household wares as well as decorative figurines.

Porcelain figurines are some of the most highly prized and collectible of ornaments and have been collected by enthusiasts for hundreds of years. They range in price from as little as £10 to many thousands of pounds for finest figurines.

We wish you the very best of luck in finding that porcelain figurine to complete your collection!
