<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 3693873, member: 7360&quot;]Thank you for your comments!&nbsp; Since I&#039;m in the bottom end of the market in ceramics - job lots of oddments, mostly - a lot of my pieces have damage.&nbsp; I see it as proof that the object has been loved and used in the past, but of course it sometimes makes them unsaleable to others.&nbsp; (I even quite like rivests, it shows the pieces was worth repairing, and they actually do a very good job of closing cracks.)&nbsp; This repair must have been a very good one at the time, especially if there was a break or piece missing, although now it is a bit unsightly.&nbsp; I&#039;ve noticed that experts on television sometimes point out small bits of damage on lovely pieces and then underestimate the sale price by quite a bit, because collectors are buying for love, not investment.&nbsp; Now that I know that this can be described as a &quot;silver shape pearlware Georgian salt&quot; I will soon be putting it on ebay, to see if it can find an appreciative home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
