Auctionwally's appraisal for antique Austrian porcelain boullion cups
Add a Comment
by Auction Wally, Auctions and Antiques Examiner
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.
