Art Pottery For Sale

What should I look for in purchasing Polish Pottery?

I am wanting some new dinner plates. I am facinated by the Polish Pottery I've been finding on ebay, but it seems they have different looks and sizes. Dinner plates seem to run from 9 to 11 inches. Is there one brand better to collect than another. Are there fakes, and what do I watch out for? Thanks!

The best way to find out how or if something is collectible is to go to your local library and take out a book on the subject. I wouldn't recommend collectibles as everyday dishes as they would have more chance of getting broken, thus losing their value. As for fakes, the books will give you enough knowledge to spot any fakes, and you can talk to antique/china dealers to find out even more.

I would start out buying the styles/sizes you like and then, as you become more knowledgeable, branch out into the more collectible styles.
