Appraisal Services

For this service we charge a fee of $25.00 per item.

We accept requests to identify, appraise or value 19th and early 20th century Australian pottery.

This identification, appraisal, valuation will be based on the photographs and information you supply so please supply several good quality close-up photographs from different angles including the base. The information we need is its size and condition, (any chips, cracks or damage).

IMPORTANT: If your trying to send photographs larger than 100kb each, the form will not work. PLEASE complete this form and send the photographs in a separate email.

Appraising pieces from photographs can be difficult if they are not good quality and close-up.

A true market value is not possible without handling the item.

Once we receive your request and notification of payment, we will respond as soon as possible. At which time you will receive a certificate of verification for your item.
