Selling Guide

eBay (broadest audience), Etsy (if marketed as vintage/cottagecore), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile items).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Famille Rose', 'Turquoise glaze', 'Chinoiserie Decor', and 'Chinese Scholar Figure'. Take close-up photos of the face and the bottom/seal if there is one. Double-box for shipping to ensure it doesn't break.
