"Another example I'll show you today is this teapot in all original condition with the right cover can cost you anywhere from $300-$500 for this teapot. This larger, the largest sizes can range anywhere from $500-$600 to $2,000-$3,000 depending on the scene and the pattern that's depicting and the condition. So there is a very large range in the teapot you can buy a teapot in semi used condition with some condition problems minor from anywhere from $200-$600. When you start to get into the political scenes and historical scenes and the events that are happening here in this country you can pay up towards $2,000-$5,000 so that's something to consider when you're thinking about collecting. The platters and the plates same thing a plate like this with this scene on it can cost you around $150-$175 in good condition. Going less if it was not in good condition these platters will range with some condition this one in particular is in good condition with no breaks and no chips. You can see it has the sign on the back the Sheppard boy the Sheppard boy rescued so it has a little bit of condition here with plates being scrapped by knifes and some discoloration. But this plate will cost you anywhere between $20-$450 for this platter, it ranges more expensive when you get into a size the larger the size in the platters, are again are going to play huge difference in the price range. So there's a lot to consider when you're starting to collect this type of earth and ware the handless cups and saucers can range anywhere from $75-$400 depending on the pattern maybe even higher. So there's a huge range in the cups and saucers, also the smaller plates that have a condition problem like this you can probably pick this kind of a plate up for maybe $50-$60 even with the condition that it is. So there's a wide range of prices that you can collect in my advice is that you should try to collect the best pieces that you can for the money in other words try to buy the best condition that you can afford."
