Some tips and tricks for your next Antique hunting trip
Rare Antiques and Vintage Collectibles
Here are some tips and pointers when pursing the fascinating field of Antiques and Collectibles
Dating Antique Porcelain
1. All Antique porcelain after 1891 was required to have the COUNTRY OF ORIGIN clearly displayed. The McKinley tariff of 1890 required that all porcelain exported to the United States carry a mark indicating their country of origin.
2. The Japanese chose to use the word "NIPPON" on their wares exported to the US with pieces showing this mark primarily dating from 1890 to 1921. In 1921, it was a requirement that the word NIPPON was replaced with "JAPAN". The typical style of ware produced during this period were MORIAGE or heavily beaded ware with hand painted scenes and heavy gilding. The workmanship of Japanese companies was absolutely extraordinary and in one such case, an English company known as IC & E Co traveled extensively through Japan purchasing the finest unmarked wares. Wares produced by leading Japanese porcelain companies were bought back to England and the company created their own Green under glaze mark of "IC & E Company". These ware are beginning to become harder to find in good condition so look out for these fine porcelain item when you can.
3. In 1921, the import laws were tightened to say that all items must carry the "MADE IN" plus their country of origin. Items marked with the words Japan may still have been made after this date so some need to be dated by style, shape and decoration.
4. Antique French Furniture - LOUIS XV
The French furniture style we call Louis XV flourished during the period of 1730-1775. If the Louis XIV furniture style was designed with the glorification of the Sun King in mind and all in massive, masculine, square form, the Louis XV furniture style is the complete opposite. Designed for the comfort and glorification of beautiful women, it has a romantic, sensuous and feminine look. A flowing abstraction of unbroken curves is the guiding principle of the Louis XV furniture style; the legs are curved, the back is curved and the seat is curved. Even the Louis XV architecture also adheres to this principle. It abhorred straight lines. In typical Louis XV architecture everything is curved - the ceiling, the panel-designs on the walls, the panel designs in the doors and even the corners of a room are curved.
The Louis XV style is sometimes referred to as the Rococo Style. It is derived from two French words meaning rock and shell. The rock and shell were the two popular motifs for decoration of this period. The Rococo style features extensive and elaborate ornamentation and decoration. It was also during this period that France was captivated with things Chinese. This fascination with Chinese motifs was called Chinoiserie. A newly discovered Chinese method of painting called Lacquering was usually used in painting wood furniture. Fabrics and wall coverings were designed with Chinese motifs as well. It is therefore not uncommon to find some Louis XV furniture style bearing this Chinese influence.
The Basic Characteristics of a Louis XV style of furniture are:
1. Curved shapes and forms. This period abhorred anything straight.
2. It bears an extensive rococo decoration. Everything is elaborately decorated with intricate carvings. Wood surfaces are decorated with Inlays, ormolu mounts and hand painted. With the cockleshell design as the point of focus.
3. Romantic Imagery is usually reflected in its motifs. This was a period of romance of Du Barry and Madame Pompadour. Images of love such as cupid and his arrow are often reflected in the designs. Shepherdess's hat and basket, fishing and hunting scenes, violin or horn and other musical motifs, bouquets and other pastoral scenes are very common design elements during this period.
4. This period designed everything with an eye toward lightness and grace. Delicacy is its guiding spirit. Scale is delicate too as opposed to the very massive previous style of Louis XIV. It is smaller, softer and more comfortable.
5. Since it has become smaller and delicate in size, the need for stretchers to support the legs is eliminated.
In conclusion, the style of Louis XV is commonly used in today's homes. Its delicate shape and size is very practical and it has both the scale and grace that are the objective in most decoration today. It is in fact one of the favorites among designers and homeowners alike when decorating traditional homes.

What college course should i take if i like...?
Im moving into my senior year in high school and its scaring me that i don't know what majors or minors would do with my intrests. Now i like fashion and know i will be majoring in fashion design, but in the event that fails i want to have other options. I also really love antiques and am inspired by people like Allen Haff and the American Pickers as far as their knowledge of antiques go. Are there any must take college courses or any tips to help me learn how much individual pieces may cost and what era they are from? Im really interested in starting my own business buying and selling antiques.
Your career choices — Fashion and Antiques — are unrealistic.
Choose some Major with decent career prospects. Take a test called "Strong Interest Inventory."
