Identify Antique China Patterns

Learning to identify antique china patterns is easier than it has ever been thanks to the Internet. Putting a few words into a search engine can often come up with exactly what you are looking for.

To identify antique patterns, there are several details which you need to make note of:

• The pattern, color and design
• The size of the plate (dinner plates were smaller)
• Hallmarks on the back and country of origin

Remember, there are virtually no antique patterns which are going to be stamped with Hong Kong or China.
