Featured Van Briggle Oak Leaf & Acorn Center Bowl, Frog and Candle Holders

I picked up this Van Briggle centerpiece bowl with acorn frog and oak leaf candle holders at a local estate sale. It's taken me 3 days to clean them up and now I want to sell. Any suggestions on how to sell them--I mean as a total set or each piece individually.
The bowl is huge-around 14" long and 5" high and weighs over 6.5#.

 

Sorry, didn't load all the photos.

 

Oooooo! Those are lovely! Must be the season for oak leaves and acorns!

 

Yes- a good time of the year for oak leaves and acorns. My driveway is filled with the squirrels' litter.

 

Take a look at my Beyer & Bock Bowl thread.

 

If you do find them, it would be interesting to know. I haven't been able to find anything too similar. Of course I've only been looking since yesterday.

 

Very nice!

 

I would sell the candle holders separate from the bowl and frog to maximize profit.

 

I like the candle holders a lot.

 

these pieces were often marketed as 'console sets' with a center bowl and candlesticks as you have. Depending on rarity, the complete sets may command a higher price than the sum of the individual parts. By offering by the single piece one may risk having an individual piece that sits longer awaiting an interested buyer.

 

That's a good point.

 

Is your doggie a Wheaten?

 

No, he's a golden doodle--golden retriever and standard poodle mix. He's a rescue and absolutely the best dog we have ever had. His name is Sherman (named after the General).

 

Wow, a lovely set! Here's the biwl with frog selling on rubylane. Might help in ideas, etc.

Thanks. I took notes on their description. I am getting ready to list it. My biggest concern is mailing it. The bowl weighs almost 7 pounds.
