[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 3717050, member: 18716"]Hi there, I jumped straight into the forums and missed the intro! I've been a full time antique dealer for coming up on 25 years now after previously running a small distribution company in the UK. My parents were in the trade part time, so I've been dragged around auctions and antique fairs since I could walk. I started by specialising in 18th & 19th century glass, small British wooden ware (tea caddys, boxes etc) for about 5 years along with Worcester, Spode & Minton. I have long since branched out into other areas following my interests as they crop up and have a good working knowledge in many areas. I'm in the UK so my answers will have a bias for what I see in the market here, but I do export about half of my stock so I have a handle on market prices in the US, Australasia and SE Asia - and in China to a lesser extent. I'll try and help out where I can, and if you want to use my name instead of the user tag then I'm Chris (often just called 'C')[/QUOTE]
