Does anyone know what a porcelain birdcage might be worth or if it is an antique or not?

I found a birdcage made of porcelain in a friend's parent's abandoned house. It is white and has blue floral designs on it tht are handpainted. It definately looks old. I can't find another one like it anywhere online through any search engines. These people were pack-rats beyond belief and have many other antiques. It is beautiful and I think it might be worth something.

It is DEFINITELY worth something. Porcelain is primarily from Asia, so there is a good chance it is imported. The fact it is a birdcage is pretty astounding. If it is not chipped at all, than it sounds like it is a very rare and highly collectible piece. It is near certain that it would have to be hand carved. You should get it appraised by a real appraiser. I would love to see a picture of it.
