Antique vases are a piece of pottery that was created before the 15th century. These pieces originated in Asia Minor, Persia, China, and Greece. The ancient Greeks and Romans were skilled in creating pottery and employed this skill to create beautiful pieces that are now prized by collectors all over the world. The first thing you will need when collecting antique vases is a good eye for detail. This means being able to recognize the different styles and types of vases produced during different periods in history. It also means knowing what kind of material was used in each period, as well as how it looks when it's new, old, or broken. In addition, knowing what kind of workmanship is involved in making each piece will help you determine whether it's worth buying or not.
