Porcelain figurines used to be the “the things to own and show off” in 18^th and 19^th Century Europe.  Regrettably, in the past fifty or sixty years, porcelain collectors’ tastes have simplified and cheap knickknacks have replaced the regal beauty of Meissen porcelain.  According to many porcelain collectors and restoration experts, such as Luba Sokolina of Luel Restoration Studio, Meissen porcelain is the Dom Perignon of porcelain and the only true hard-paste porcelain that was developed outside of China.

Some believe that in today’s difficult financial times, fewer collectors would want to invest in expensive Meissen pieces. Nothing could be further from the truth, says Laurence Mitchell on Buy Meissen Website http://www.buymeissen.com

According to Mitchell, “There is a myth that when the financial markets are going through difficulties there will be less money around to purchase quality Meissen. This could not be further from the truth. When collectors are buying the rarest and the best in quality whenever those items find their way onto the market the prices achieved at auction are amongst the highest seen often giving the collector or investor a great return on their investment than keeping their money in a savings account or other financial investment.”
