Instant identification
Pottery, porcelain, glass, silver, furniture, clocks, toys and more, recognised from one photo.
Antique identifier for iPhone
Take a photo of a vase, clock, chair or curio. AI Antique tells you what it is, how old it is, where it’s from and a realistic value range, then lets you check real eBay listings in one tap.
Requires iOS 17 or later. Identification needs AI Antique Pro: $4.99/week or $24.99/year in the US. Some plans start with a free trial.
How it works
Place the item in front of a plain background and take a photo, or choose one from your library.
Learn what it is, its time period, likely country of origin, the history behind it and how rare it is.
See an estimated value range with the reasoning, then open eBay or Google Images to compare real examples.
The full report
The most common complaint about antique apps is inflated prices. AI Antique gives a range with its reasoning, says plainly when something is common, and puts real listings one tap away so you can check.

Open Google Images for the item to compare marks, colours, makers and reproductions.
Every find is saved with its value and rarity, and syncs across your devices with iCloud.

AI Antique is free to download. Identifying antiques needs an AI Antique Pro subscription: $4.99 a week or $24.99 a year in the US, with local prices shown in the App Store. Some plans start with a free trial.
It’s a starting point, shown as a range with the reasoning behind it. Condition, maker’s marks, provenance and demand all change real prices. Use the eBay button and filter by Sold items to see what similar pieces actually sold for, and get a certified appraisal before selling or insuring anything valuable.
Pottery and porcelain, glassware, silver, furniture, clocks, lamps, toys, tools, art objects and other vintage collectibles.
Sometimes, when the clues are visible. A photo can’t show weight, construction or the underside, so check marks, joints and wear in person, and see an expert for anything important.
Use good light and a plain background, and fill the frame. If the piece has a maker’s mark, signature or label, photograph that too.
Open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose AI Antique. Apple handles all billing, so you can cancel any time.
Yes. Your collection syncs through iCloud across devices signed in to the same Apple Account.
