[QUOTE="Natalia006, post: 9560357, member: 83001"]Thank you for the detailed answer! I learned a lot. "As we already said, this isn't antique.;) Natalia, why don't you visit museums, castles, etc to get acquainted with the look and aura (for lack of a better word) of true antiques." My point with that comment was not that it is antique, I know now that it is not. I just get a lot of comments on different antique-related platforms about extrinsic worth, quality and monetary value of a piece when it comes to antiques, without me inquiring about it in the first place. I never experienced it in this frequency when it comes to other collections and hobbies, I guess because there is a lot of reselling going on in the antique world. So I wanted to clarify that as a beginner, and in general, I pick up things that I think might be antique to learn about: if it truly is an antique, origin and age. The worth is irrelevant to me and I thought that might be worth mentioning because, one comment: "it is not worth much money at all, you will learn what is worth money (...)". That is not my goal at all! My question was about its age ( and if it's an antique) and the origin. Not if it's worth money, not if it is high quality. It really isn't a big deal at all, and I understand where everyone was coming from. I just wanted to clarify because I felt my point getting misunderstood. Thanks everyone![/QUOTE]
