How much can antique Dehua porcelain sell for?

Antique Dehua porcelain can sell for modest sums or for several million euros, depending on age, condition, rarity, and maker attribution. Small late Qing export figures may sell for under €500 and early Ming or signed He Chaozong sculptures can reach six or seven figures at major auctions. One Blanc de Chine Guanyin sold in Hong Kong during 2014 for more than HK$6 million and a rare libation cup from the late Ming period fetched over US$300,000 at Sotheby’s. Museum-quality examples linked with old European collections attract strong demand from Chinese buyers returning historical objects to Asia. Condition plays a major role in pricing, cracks, chips, restoration, or glaze damage can reduce value sharply. Older pieces often survive with firing flaws or kiln grit attached near the foot rim. Provenance raises prices heavily, where porcelain from aristocratic European collections may carry old inventory labels dating from the 18th or 19th century.
