<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 240503, member: 50&quot;]If it&#039;s American stoneware personally I&#039;d check Crocker Farms auction results and then I&#039;d check Ebay and Liveauctioneers results.&nbsp; If you&#039;re buying to sell then somewhere in those results you may get an idea of what to expect. Keep in mind, of course, that selling through a real auction will probably cost you a lot more percentage-wise than if you can sell it yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Generally I&#039;d say that perfect pieces of any ceramic will be more valuable than pieces with damage but the more rare then the less effect it will probably have.&nbsp; I have a pretty large collection of old ceramics that I bought primarily for their research value and I&#039;m happy to overlook their boo boos. In fact chips give a view into the body that you don&#039;t have in a perfect piece. That said, if for resale I&#039;d prefer more perfect pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>The piece of German stoneware in my avatar has significant cracks but it&#039;s old and of a type that interests me. I think when I acquired it, it was probably less costly than more perfect examples but suited my interests and fit my pocketbook.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
