Thanks for the video! I noticed that you buy vintage pieces as long as they don’t have crazing, and I was wondering whether it’s still a risk once you acquire it, due to its age? Can I ask what the warning signs are, and how to prevent it when you collect older pieces? Is it possible to buy a piece without crazing, only to have it develop once its sitting on your shelf? Thank you!
crazing is almost synonymous to vintage pieces but as a collector, I have my own specifics on what quality I would collect/Keep. If I personally check the pieces, I do not buy ones with defects(chips/cracks/crazing). If I buy online, I always know there is that risk that item may arrive damaged or with crazing. If that would be the case, I would return it. I usually give the seller a heads up to make sure they double check item is free of defects. Unfortunately, some crazing/crack are hard to find. Needs experience and skills to be good in checking them.
