Tips for Collecting Historical Blue & White China

Video Transcript

Today we're here to talk about historical blue. The period that we're going to talk about today is between the 1820s and the 1850s. You can see some of this displayed on the table here. We're going to talk about the places and the events and the series that they did make here in America and in England. Particularly in England and you'll see a lot of English patterns that were imported into this country. It's a highly collectible area, a very expensive area to collect in. It's for the distinguished collector who has a lot of money to invest in these pieces. They get very expensive. So we're going to talk a little bit about the different shapes and the difference between historical blue, which we have here, and what you can see behind me, which is mulberry and is the same period, about 1820's to the 1850s. Very different, very different in color. You can see the blue design - a very distinct blue compared to the mulberry, which is very dark, almost black in color. Then, it can fade almost to a purply hue. So there's a big difference between, even though it was popular at the same time. So that's what we're going to look into today.
