<p>[QUOTE="Bdigger, post: 2965544, member: 157"]I am not an expert on these......but just looking around this is the feeling I got.......Original Minton Majolica is valuable, but there are a lot of reproductions out there also. Although the ones you show SEEM legit, any Minton I see online with that color Blue are reproductions. A chip will decrease the value about 50% in my experience. Check the diamond (registration mark) on the bottom if possible, that will give you dates of manufacture etc.....There are many sites that will show you the key to deciphering the registration mark. I can't say for sure that they are repro's or not. If real I would guesstimate them at $1500.00 each based on what I see for similar minton</p><p>items (take $750 off the chipped one). </p><p>Still I would not go above decorative value if bidding on them, until I was sure they were Legit. To me.....decorative value would put me at about $100 for the pair. If they were Legit.....I probably couldn't afford them anyway![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
