<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 80861, member: 37"]I used to have American art pottery as a major portion of my retail mix. I sold many pieces in the $100-500.00 range and a few pieces even higher. These days, I can't sell any pottery over $30.00 unless I want to give good pieces away for a tiny fraction of their previous value. I have had 20 pieces in the $20-100.00 range in my retail space for about a year without a single sale. These are pieces that I have at about 1/3 of their previous value, yet still no sales. Niloak, early Brush-McCoy, Zanesville, Peters and Reed, and Weller in the $20-40.00 range. Early Haeger that is impossible to find and other pottery both domestic and foreign at what I consider good prices, just sits. About the only halfway bright spot I have seen is modern Van Briggle and McCoy at very reasonable prices. I gave up trying to sell Roseville, Rookwood, Fulper and any of the better pottery quite awhile ago. I am pulling the rest here shortly. </p><p><br /></p><p>Comments appreciated. What are others seeing? Any hope for a rebound?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
