How to Determine Value of Majolica Pottery

Video Transcript

"There's a large range in price range on these pieces for instance I just sold a piece not long ago which was a George Jones piece which is was a relief with lily's on a lily pad with a butterfly and footed. It was maybe 10" round 5" high and it was put out by George Jones in the mid 1800's and the piece sold for almost $5000. So there's a top range of majolica that can sell between $5000-$20,000 for a piece depending on who made it, the age and the condition. But George Jones is one of the higher end pieces and that piece in particular happened to be in that category, which was a very expensive piece. But for the most part you can pick up majolica anywhere from $50 pretty common things up to this cake plate which is going to range in around $600 range in good condition. The crushing pattern is very early so you're going to pay a little bit more this plate can cost about $75 in good condition. The corn pitchers are pretty common this is a reproduction I was talking about this is only worth about $25, which this is about $45-$55, the size and it's old. This bamboo pattern can range around $250 in good condition you can see a lot of these patterns when you have the yellow green motif on the outside will have the pink relief on the inside. That's a really tall tale for the majolica you'll see it here you'll see the pink relief on the inside on this crushing patterns seashell piece the campo. This here this pitcher with a high relief on it with the 3 dimensional button on the top this we talked about this is about $300 range pitcher."
