Buying antiques is not like buying a car, even the most seasoned antiquarian can miss!
I suggest to hire a local expert. He/She can help you to identify and value on the fly!
Also you can read a book about how appraise antiques.
Ask for the origin, who was the previous owner, review the marks, check for cracks or repairs...
Goos luck in your search
Just a thought.
