<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 90590, member: 1262&quot;]I&#039;ve been using the weak art pottery market to add a few pieces to my collection. Pieces of Roseville Pottery that would have sold for $275-300 in 2005 are selling for under $100 today. Recently at a local estate auction I was able to pick up some mint condition pieces for prices ranging from $15 to $25 dollars. Granted they were common lines, I still think the price was too good to pass up. Recently I&#039;m trying to limit myself to better patterns when buying Roseville. One of the Roseville Thornapple pieces that I bought for $60 still had the antique mall tag from the previous sale which was for $275, Yikes! The market for Rookwood Pottery seems to be a bit stronger than Roseville with the average common piece down only 50% or so in my limited experience. On the other hand Hull Pottery seems to have fallen off a cliff with pieces that used to sell for $100 locally sitting unsold for $25 in shops. McCoy seems to have fared OK but with the slew of reproductions out there I&#039;m kinda wary of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anybody think that the market for good art pottery will bounce back anytime soon or will the pottery market continue its death spiral for now? Some of the prices I&#039;m seeing on nice vases are not really that much higher than brand new junk pottery in the big box stores.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
