[QUOTE="rhiwfield, post: 341806, member: 924"]I once financed a porcelain mbo and experienced the trials and tribulations of porcelain figural production and market. They made good quality figurines of the type that James Lewis hates with a vengeance! Lots of work and skill went into producing objects that have limited current value. Sadly, the company no longer survives. As a dealer I have to look to value first, artistry second. As a collector, the story behind an object is as important as the object itself[/QUOTE]
