<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 330109, member: 136&quot;]Tiffany, your Mom has amassed quite a collection of blue and white porcelain! (Now I see how you caught the collecting bug – just as I did, from my Mom, and my daughter did, from me!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Blue and white porcelain has been made in a lot of places, for a very long time. China has produced it for probably a thousand years, and places like England, the Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, and many more have been making it for at least a few hundred years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collecting blue &amp; white is fun, especially since there are so many varieties, and the colors can be used in so many different decorating schemes. Collecting for personal use is almost easy these days, since there are so many pieces available in so many different price ranges.</p><p><br /></p><p>For your own home, the best bet is if you collect what you<b> like </b>and not worry too much about the rest of it. I know that I have some blue &amp; white from 1800&#039;s England, but I also have some from 1980&#039;s China! I like what I have – all of it – and if I see another piece that appeals to me (and I have a place for it!) I&#039;ll even buy more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your interest in collectibles like these is refreshing. Keep it up, study it, and learn all you can - it really can be rather rewarding![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
