<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tagsale_notes, post: 13148686, member: 115485&quot;][USER=81]@Kronos[/USER] beat me to the WorthPoint number, so here is the other half of it: what that sort of jug is actually doing on the open market now. A 2013 result is thirteen years old, and that is long enough for a market to move either way.</p><p><br /></p><p>I pulled eBay UK sold listings for the last 90 days.</p><p><br /></p><p>G F Bowers, and Bowers Tunstall, as search terms: no sold results at all. Nothing closed under the maker name in three months. That normally means thin demand for the name rather than big money hiding somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>The class it sits in, antique Victorian porcelain milk and cream jugs, 7 sold:</p><p>£4.38, 26 Jun 2026</p><p>£4.95, 16 Jul 2026</p><p>£7.47, 3 Jul 2026 (auction)</p><p>£8.12, 10 Sep 2026</p><p>£11.50, 11 Sep 2026</p><p>£14.00, 11 Jul 2026</p><p>£31.39, 19 Aug 2026</p><p>Median £8.12.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gilt decorated examples specifically did better: £26.70 on 18 Jul 2026 and £25.39 on 3 Aug 2026.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the £19.10 from 2013 still looks about right for a good one, and the middle of that market has drifted down rather than up. The gilding and the fish scale decoration are what keep it in the twenties instead of under a tenner. If anyone can tie it to a documented Bowers pattern with a book reference, that changes who is bidding, but the raw sold data does not show a premium for the name at the moment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
