Valuation Of Vase
19 Answers
I bought a vase in a charity shop. It caught my eye it was in a locked display cabinet. Took a bit of a gamble the markings don't tell me a lot
Does anyone know if I send some pictures if there is anywhere online who could tell me anything about it and possible valuation please.

I'm no expert on pottery but I've done quite a bit of buying and selling at auction. That appears to me to be a mass- produced 19th century majolica vase, which might get £10 to £20 if auctioned on eBay but is just as likely (if not more so) to fail to attract any bids. (Sorry!) Don't order your new yacht, based upon your profit from the vase, just yet ;-)

You can't upload photos directly to AB. To show us a picture, you need to upload it to a suitable hosting site, copy the link that's produced and then paste that link in a post here.

BTW: Nearly all local auction houses (and, indeed, many of the major auction firms) will give you a free valuation on anything you take into them. They're obviously hoping that you'll then sell through them but it's not a condition of the service. (The only restriction is that they won't give you a valuation in writing for free. If you need such a valuation, e.g. for insurance purposes, they'll charge a fee for the service).
I once took a few items into Bonham's prestigious auction house in London and asked for a valuation. Within a couple of minutes I was greeted by one of the experts from the Antiques Road show, whom people queue for hours to see when the show is visiting their area, who was happy to give me loads of his time and provide me with free valuations of my items.
