[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 9555402, member: 649"]Welcome, Lager! You don't mention where in the world you live. (This is an international forum.) Location is a very important variable when determining price. Also, would you be willing to go to the risk to ship your item? Shipping a lamp is costly and yours is breakable. If not, and you are then limited to selling locally, price is often significantly affected. Also, when it comes to lamps, people often want a pair. You don't include a close-up photo of the courting couple but my bet is that it's a decal, not hand-painted. I live in a midwest USA large suburban area. I do see lamps of your type (vintage, courting couple, ceramic) occasionally in my local thrift stores and at estate sales, they are not unusual here. Courting couple stuff was very popular, my best friend has a huge set of cc dishes she inherited from her grandmother! She tried to sell them via our local FB Marketplace for $150 but had no takers so they live in boxes in her basement. If I had a single lamp of that type, in excellent condition, I would [I]hope[/I] to achieve around $25 US for it.[/QUOTE]
