<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 260764, member: 59&quot;]Who the hobbyist was is irrelevant. Does the piece display talent? Is it neatly done? Is the china part free of flaws - cracks, hairlines, chips? Those are the things I look for and at if considering such a piece for purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether there is &quot;demand&quot; in the general antiques market for hobbyist painted china, I don&#039;t know. I just know that I&#039;ve never paid more than $10 for one - and that took some serious thought about whether I really had to have it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
