Miniature Porcelain
How do you tell the difference between ceramic and pocelain figurines?
We've got a bunch of figurines here (some are hollow houses, but the rest are completely solid, painted miniatures) and they don't have labels describing if they are porcelain or ceramic.
We want to list them on eBay, but don't know how to describe them.
Please tell us how to tell the difference between porcelain and ceramic miniatures.
Also, is it okay to wash them? They're fairly dirty...
Thanks!
Porcelain is a TYPE of ceramic, so there is no difference. Do you mean, the difference between porcelain and earthenware or some other type of ceramic? Or do you mean cast resin? I am thinking that the solid houses are probably cast resin, which is sort of like a heavy plastic.
You might want to take a few of the nicest ones to a couple of different antique or collectible dealers in your area to look at. Don't sell them to the first person who offers to buy them, if anyone does, but get several different opinions.
You should also try searching online (eBay is good, but it is not the only place) for other pieces that look like yours, and compare them. That will give you some idea of what they are and how much they are worth.
For washing, try wiping them very gently with a damp cloth in just a few spots to see if anything flakes off. If things seem OK, then you could wash them very carefully one at a time in a dishpan of warm, soapy water with a very soft brush, but watch out especially if you have any type of gold or metallic trim. Don't get any labels wet or get water up inside the figurines. Set them out to air dry before you pack them up.
If you do sell them, you might want to take them to the UPS Store to have them packed properly and mailed to the buyer.

What is the best bonding agent for porcelain figurines?
My son's dragon figurine's wing broke off during shipping, and since I cannot return it or exchange it (EBay) I am forced to try and repair it. I've never had good luck fixing miniatures, figurines, or anything else made of a poly resin, porcelain, or ceramic. I've tried super glue and construction adhesive, both did not work. I was able to clean most of the failed attempts off though so I have a semi clean working surface. Any advice would be great, as this was his Christmas present.
any epoxy based glue will work best, the best glue on the market today that is affordable is called Gorilla Glue, which you can find at any home depot, lowes..etc.

It’s been almost mesmerising to watch the truly dull on this thread, the crossword-puzzlers and word-game playing dullards with their overweening and ignorant arrogance, while they try to have an argument that is the equivalent of debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. (For those who don’t know, the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin is precisely zero.)

Abbie,
Thank you so much for keeping cherished memories of Grandma Rose–and her recipes–alive and well today.
Some of my fondest memories of Grandma Rose are when she endured your repeated requests to admire her collection of miniature, porcelain, animal figurines again and again and letting you–a toddler–hold each one! She also didn't mind if your brothers and all your cousins dumped the wooden blocks all over her kitchen floor, just to build towers, which would eventually crash down. She is the epitome of a perfect grandma . . . and I aspire someday to be a little bit like Grandma Rose and your other wonderful grandmothers . . .
