Chinese porcelain is very valuable and sought after, both historically and in the contemporary market.

Chinese porcelain has been produced for over a thousand years, and was first imported into Europe in the 17th century, where it became highly sought after by royalty and nobility. Porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties is highly prized for its craftsmanship, design and quality of materials, as well as for its underglaze blue and overglaze enamelling techniques and the famous blue and white porcelain. Items from these periods are particularly favoured by collectors.

High-quality, historically significant, and well-preserved Chinese porcelain pieces can fetch millions of dollars at auction, making them highly valuable collectibles.
