What is Bavarian porcelain?

Is Bavarian porcelain worth anything?

Yes, some Bavarian porcelain is worth something. Because the Kingdom of Bavaria ended in 1918, pieces bearing the country's name are more than 100 years old and, therefore, are antiques. The age and rarity mean that Bavarian china is often worth more than contemporary pieces, particularly in the case of china that originated from the factories of well-known makers, such as the Royal Bayreuth Company, Johann Haviland, Hutschenreuther and Winterling. The type, style and condition will also impact the potential value. For assistance with the valuation process for any pieces you own, seek the help of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Find a variety of Bavarian china on 1stDibs.
