Statuettes for sale

Each category of antique dinnerware has its own criteria of value and individual ways of valuation. However, there are also general rules that affect the redemption price:

Determining the value of antique dinnerware involves several key steps and factors to consider:

1. Identification and provenance:

   • Markings: Examine the cookware for artisan marks, logos or signatures that may indicate the maker, country of manufacture.
   • History: Ware from famous manufacturers or produced during certain historical periods may be more valuable.

2. Age:

   • Antique items over 100 years old tend to be more valuable than more modern pieces.

3. Condition:

   • Carefully inspect dishes for damage, cracks, chips and signs of repair. Whole items in good condition are usually more valuable.

4. Material and fabrication techniques:

   • Evaluate the material (porcelain, earthenware, ceramic, silver, etc.) and the manufacturing technique. Rare and high quality materials as well as sophisticated manufacturing techniques can add value.

5. Rarity and uniqueness:

   • Find out how rare or unique a given piece of dinnerware is. Limited editions, unique designs or items with historical significance are more valuable.

6. Documentation and bundling:

   • Having documentation to prove the authenticity and provenance of the cookware can greatly increase its value.
   • Availability of complete set and original packaging.

The appraisal is done transparently, using collection catalogs and market demand. You receive the full appraised value in cash or by card transfer.
