LOWESTOFT VASE MARKED WITH X

by Bill Osborne
(Trenton Ontario Canada)

Hello Peter, I am Bill from Trenton Ontario,
I had my sisters vase evaluated today January 21st, it is geniune,I sent you some pictures,they are under Lowestoft vase marked with an x.

Sadly my sister passed away December 14th 2010.
One of my many missions in life is to have some
history and value of this item.The evaluator said
the value of Lowestoft vases has dropped. I am sure as you know many variables determine the value of an item.With your help and your many associates, maybe I can find more about this vase.

This vase is over two hundred years old, I realize this is insignificant to most people,especially to the layman. I am grateful to your site,it helps people relate with each other,opens peoples eyes and give the layman, as I am, an understanding and true value of an item.

Many people are remembered through items as they are passed on through generations. I thank you for any information and time.

Bill

Many thank for you kind words, your time and trouble to report back about your identification and for understanding exactly what this site is about.

Just a not on appraisals. I run an expert liason service which feel is the best online.

For a relatively small admin fee, my experts will not only identify the item but also give you an accurate valuation at auction hammer price.

Update on authenticity of blue & white Lowestoft vase
by: Bill

Recently I found out from showing it to a local expert it is an original. However, he wouldn't advise me of the value.

Now I would like to find the history and value, if anyone can help it would be appreciated.

Thanks Bill

Hi Bill

Normally I like to keep value separate from these identification forums, simply because it gets very complicated for all sorts of reasons and really valuations need to be done by a highly qualified expert - which none of us are.

People on this forum tend to be enthusiasts and collectors.

We know how much we would want to pay for something to turn a profit, but that's not the same thing as giving an impartial appraisal.

Expert professionals tend not to comment on forums like this as it is in their interests to keep us in the dark - as they like to charge for their services in one way or the other.

What do you think their fee is for appearing on the Antiques Roadshow?

Anyway, that said, looking at the general achieved hammer prices at auction for Lowestoft wares over the past few years

Mid 18th Century Small blue & white bottle vases $3000 - $4000 USD (each)

A 18th Century Small blue & white bowl $800 - $1000

A pair of blue & white plates from c.1765 $3000 - $4000 USD

So if an expert confirms the authenticity, quality and date of item, you can be sure of an interesting value.
