Help With Mark

Can anyone help me with this? I was told it may be worth a bit if I can figure out who made it. Thanks.

 

Ceramic Art Company-Lenox, from a quick search. Rugby players. I have no clue if it's authentic or worth anything.

Thank you. I am cleaning out a old house. Had a person from a auction company go through with me and when he saw this he said it may be valuable.

 

Christies had one similar to yours in a lot from 2006:

I've seen with and without and don't know if the 'withouts' originally had them or not.

 

Thank you for all the replies. I appreciate you looking at this and giving me some news. Looking it over closely I can tell it never had a lid. What is my best avenue to sell it and what should I be asking for it?

 

Hi,
I used to see these offered for sale for 25 dollars. I never saw any of them sold at that price. That being said I have no idea what they bring now. When I saw them it was the late 1990s and early 2000s. Early Lenox never had the appeal of like Roseville or Rookwood.

You won't find too many on here providing values for items. More of a knowledge-base group of people.

I don't know how collectible this type of item is. Sans lid, it's a mug, not a stein. Others may chime in and offer some ideas.

 

Welcome iflog - I would have the auctioneer you spoke with run it through his auction with your other items.

Iflog, you also might want to read up on AMERICAN BELLEEK. (I collected it for some years but have not purchased any lately.)

Just as an intro:

Values are way down over what they once were, but it's still prized by many.

 

I went on eBay and found 2 similar Lenox CAC porcelain mugs with different sports characters. One was the rugby scene selling for $595 and the other was the golfer selling for $895. They look exactly like the mug I have. Am I getting my hopes up?

 

I understand they never get what they ask but am I to assume the mug I have is in that ballpark price wise?

 

Not my area of expertise but I am very familiar with eBay. Generally it’s not good for determining value unless you can find multiple examples that have sold.
You can toggle the option for “sold/completed” listings in your search.

 

Considering the lot of 4 items from Christies, with the signed pitcher probably being the most desirable went for $960; I think what they are asking is way too high.

If I had it in my shop in rural CA, I would probably mark it around $145 and hope for $125, but it won't sell tomorrow. San Francisco or upscale LA area may get higher.
It will all depend on how and where you are, and how you intend to sell it.

Is the auctioneer you hired an online auction or a local auction. If local are you in a metropolitan area or rural? All of these play into what you can realize.

 

I understand it is probably not worth what they are asking on eBay. I personally don't sell anything on eBay and wouldn't even know how. How should I go about selling this?
