I’ve been around antique advertising my entire life. My dad had one of the largest collections in the country, and I spent years helping him chase down pieces, fix them up, and bring them to auction.

Eventually, I became a licensed auctioneer and sold thousands of original signs—but it always bothered me that collectors had to choose between overpriced, beat-up originals or cheap knockoffs made with stickers and aluminum.

So I decided to change that.

Porcelain Advertising was born out of that frustration—because I knew there was a better way to do it. One that honored the past, respected the craft, and didn’t cut corners.
