Auctionwally's appraisal for antique Austrian porcelain boullion cups

July 25, 1:05 PM
 
 
Austrian Boullion cups & underplates
          This appraisla is for a set of 6 w/ underplates

Sara asks:

I have 6 of these bouillon cups with saucers. They are in good condition except for showing a small amount of wear on the gold painted edges and on the cup handles. Can you tell me the age and what they are worth?

 

Thank you,

Sara

AW says: That's a charming set. As you likely know German and Austrian porcelain is usually of very good quality. Points for having a complete set of 6 and being a custom set for Marshall Fields.

Date range: 1890s-1900


Retail value:
$95-$125 for the set.
(top price)

Wholesale value: $75
(The midrange price you could expect to achieve at a well advertised live auction. The price that is most often realized)

Quick sale value: $35-$50
The price your likely to get if you have to sell your item immediately and your prospective customer is aware of this.

Common trade terminology: Bullion cups and saucers or under plates. Austrian China, Victorian china, gold decorated china

Care and storage tips: Never put anything with gold decorated paint in the micro-wave or dishwasher.
