Featured Old pottery souvenir cup?

This was 3 bucks and got it just because. I assume souvenir... early 1900s? Any name for this kind of thing? Any resale value in it's current condition?

 

This similar cup, different location, has a makers mark. Villeroy & Boch, Mettlach if it helps.

With chip and crack sold for $225 back in 2020. Could be that the location made it so valuable?

One like yours in different color is listed currently, not chipped though.

Super helpful information SIS, thank you.

I bet the $225 one went so high (as you mentioned, too) because of the California location. I guess I could list it and see what happens. Thanks!

 

Palm Beach, Florida. And, yes, probably explains the selling price.

Yours looks like it must be V&B too. There are big time V&B collectors. Their stuff is tremendously good quality usually. I’ve had some really nice pieces of theirs that have sold for great money. Probably around five items that all sold for 200-500 or so. I’d call it a beaker and a beer cup. I’d also spam my title with the word stein because they are famous for the steins and that’s what a lot of ppl are looking for of theirs. This is in the same category kind of so I wouldn’t feel guilty.

 

Right! Thanks.

These are great suggestions J Dagger. Thanks.

 

I realized that I kind of forgot to mention an important distinction. The items I referred to were from V&B’s Mettlach production. Those are the ones that go for really good money often. The V&B general production is all of really good quality but isn’t necessarily collected like the Mettlach stuff. That kind of slipped my mind when I replied. Luckily your item is in the beer/stein orbit still so hopefully it will do well. Also it will specific local interest for certain buyers which should help it.
