Vintage china typically shows signs of age and wear that reflect its use and passage of time. Here are some common types of age-related wear you might find:
1. Crazing:
• Fine, hairline cracks in the glaze that occur due to temperature changes or aging. They do not affect the integrity of the piece but can be noticeable.
2. Discoloration:
• Staining or yellowing of the glaze, often due to prolonged use, exposure to certain foods or liquids, or improper storage.
3. Fading:
• Colors or patterns may fade over time, especially if the piece has been frequently washed or exposed to sunlight.
4. Chips and Cracks:
• Small chips or cracks can occur from handling, use, or accidents. These can be found on edges, rims, or bases.
5. Wear on Patterns:
• Patterned or painted designs can show signs of wear, particularly on frequently touched areas like handles or rims. This can include fading, rubbing off, or slight smudging.
6. Glaze Wear:
• The shiny finish on the surface may become dull or scratched from use, cleaning, or stacking.
7. Base Wear:
• The bottom of the piece can show signs of wear, such as scratches, scuffing, or discoloration from being set down on various surfaces.
8. Utensil Marks:
• Scratches or marks from utensils, often seen on plates or bowls where cutlery has been used repeatedly.
9. Maker’s Marks:
• Over time, the stamps or maker’s marks on the bottom can become worn or faded, making them harder to read.
These signs of wear are typical and can add to the charm and authenticity of vintage china, reflecting its history and usage over the years.
