Frequently Asked Questions

What is it worth?

What's it worth?  The simple answer – whatever you can get for it – has truth but doesn’t explain why.

Value (price) depends on three related factors: supply, demand and condition. If supply outstrips demand (popularity) then prices will be down. A beautiful piece that no one wants is valueless in the marketplace. Common pieces in poor condition are also without value save perhaps as decoration.

Conversely, if there is high demand for an item in short supply, prices will be up. Better condition adds to value. Chips, cracks or repairs usually lower value.

To determine whether your transferware piece is in demand, use this website to view dealer offerings. You might also explore internet auction and other listings and talk with knowledgeable dealers and other collectors.
