antique market, ceramics and porcelain has a staggering 30% market share. Porcelain collection is now the focus of many
collectors, including collectors new to the porcelain scene. As the price of top antique porcelain become out of reach for
many collectors, ceramic shards is receiving more focus from the collectors for its educational, research, and identification
values.
Ceramic shard is an excellent tool for us to identify real antique porcelain, as we can use them to research and feel the beauty,
workmanship, and techniques from the past. As their value become more recognized, more and more collectors are entering
the market to collect these ceramic shards, raising their value in the antique market. In addition, the antique ceramic shards
allowed us to see the change and transformation and history of ceramic, filling in the blanks left void by the incomplete
porcelain collections.
The collectors of these ceramic shards include new collectors, porcelain enthusiasts, and even scholars from museum. As
the amount of quality ceramic shards are still finite, many collectors believe the value of these shards will rise alongside the
Chinese antiques market. Thus, quality ceramic shards, including ceramic shards from important kilns such as Ru, Ge, Guan,
Jun, and Ding, are very sought after in the current market. By having the antique ceramic shards in hand can greatly improve
collectors’ appraisal skills compare to only book reading.
