Do antique porcelain candlesticks have to have a mark to be valuable?
I have a pair of antique-looking porcelain cherub candlesticks with no mark anywhere. Does that mean they are fake and worthless?
It isn’t uncommon for antique porcelain pieces to lose their mark due to wear over the centuries. Hopefully you can see some sort of trace of the marks with a jeweler’s loupe or very strong magnifying glass, but that won’t always be the case.
The problem when antique pieces lose their identifying marks is that it makes it much more difficult to ascertain the object’s age. Often a reliable expert is required to determine the authenticity of the antique. Try to find research books, catalogs and other reference materials that would have drawings, prints, photos of antique candlesticks, porcelain and any makers who made designs similar to that of your candlesticks.
If the object is suspected to be of significant value, additional tests can be made, albeit quite expensive to conduct, to at least determine the age of the pieces.
Should an expert not be able to determine the authenticity of the candlesticks they would likely have a much lower value than if the maker and/or age of the candlesticks could be determined.

Titanic [VHS] $1.98 When the theatrical release of James Cameron’s Titanic was delayed from July to December of 1997, media pundits speculated that Cameron’s $200 million disaster epic would cause the director’s downfall, signal the end of the blockbuster era, and sink Paramount Studios as quickly as the ill-fated luxury liner had sunk on that fateful night of April 14, 1912.
