That person needs to get hot making those if they're that good and with a date that can't be fudged.

 

I wondered when this was gonna show up here I read it online few hours ago.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if the owner had sold it to the appraiser for the original price

 

Whoa, doggies!!!! From the website Cheryl (Dragonflywink) shared above, it appears that the appraiser was affiliated with Skinner of Boston.

Do any others here see a "(fairly) strong resemblance" between the now-known artist's face/facial structure/expression and some of the pieces of her work arrayed in front of her?

 

I'm wondering if the owner had it insured for the appraisal valuation for the past year. Well that would be some money down a rat hole, so to speak.

 

I've caught two mistakes from them. Skinner's made a mistake on my appraisal for an antique set of coral jewelry. They said it was authentic coral dating from the late 1800s. The date was right but the coral was celluloid.

They appraised a porcelain set for $500 which I knew was outrageously low. I did some of my own research and sent it to Christie's where it sold for 10 times Skinner's appraisal.

 

how does he have the nerve to value it now at 3 to 5 thousand ??

It's a fine work....but...???

 

That's an overpriced Californian interior design store -price.

You know, one of those places where everything costs 10 times more because rich and (stupid?) people pay that.

 

and if they're willing to pay that overinflated price, you're more than happy to sell it to them?(LOL) It's a great jug, but I'd think the $300 original price is about the going rate.

 

That is my cousin Gina's job , she is an interior designer to the stars ,she had a store called Gina's by the sea or bay i think it was, in Sana Monica cal. , she has done Bono's house, and Eddie van halen's , so much money i can't even phantom that .
She has told me she has Daniel Craig's pants from the bond movie and wants $100.000 for them so she won't put them on ebay .

 

Where do I get in on that gig?(LOL)

 

i can ask her if she still has them,but it was about 3 years ago

 

she still lives there selling high priced art lol
she was dating the producer of Hanna Montana , i tried to get her to send me an autograph , she said she would get me a script , was the best she could do , but it never happened.

 

she loves my chair but can't help me with it oh well we aren't that close as my family moved across the country when i was 6 , we are both born on the exact same day dec 17 1959 i think there is a story about us but i haven't been able to find it , i did a search for cousins born on same day.

 

my cousin and i share the same birthday...different years...

 

ya that is quite common, but just as awesome tho lol get to wish each other hbd my sisters is dec 16 but 15 years apart also

 

Han caído los poderosos...
The mighty have fallen...

 

i think with what they had, they made a decision it was wrong but hey we all make mistakes and if the truth hadn't been found we would still think it was right at 30/50,000, and give it some time it might get there ,(after all the hype) lol

 

True dat. Fair enough.
