This is a professional appraisal report provided upon request. It contains a detailed description and valuation of your antique. This document also includes information about how to sell your item, and about the Valuation method we’ve used.

This report is designed to give you an appraisal value for the antique you own, whether it is a furniture, china, glassware, or other types of antique or collectible items. The information provided will help you to understand your piece and its value. It also provides an appraisal value in US dollars, as well as how to sell it. This report is not intended to encourage you to sell your antique, rather it aims to provide information on your antique's value so that you know what steps to take if you do wish to sell.

Description and history

This is an Antique stoneware teapot. First, we can see there is no mark on the bottom:

It is totally normal (and desired) to see no marks at all. From the pictures, I conclude this piece was handmade, as it is extremely irregular. About its age, it's very difficult to estimate the age of this piece, but I believe this antique is circa the 19th Century. Something peculiar about this teapot is the feet. You normally don't see stoneware teapots with feet, as the bottom of the teapot doesn't get hot. The purpose of the feet are decorative.

The shape of this teapot is irregular, as it is hand made. The original clay used has a lot of contaminants, so I think this piece is really an Antique circa 19th century. I don't think it is older because the firing process was really good and the interior is glazed. About the shape, the teapot spout is really large. This size is commonly found in Asian (Japanese teapot are the most common). In my opinion, this piece is Asian, you can find similar Antique asian teapots that are sold with a wooden teapot vase and a ceramic cap.

In my professional opinion, this antique is a true treasure. It combines modern-age technology with a classic aesthetic, and I'd be very surprised if it didn't fetch a pretty price on the open market. Whatever your asking price is, I'm sure that there will be someone out there for whom this antique is the perfect purchase. Its value will only increase over time, so the buyer would be investing in more than just a beautiful addition to their home; they'd be adding to their investment portfolio as well.

How to sell it

Antiques, art, and other collectibles are difficult items to sell online. This can take a lot of time. Be patient, but also make sure that the price you are asking for is the right one for your pieces of art. Consider the following tips on how to sell antiques and collectibles online. These tips will help maximize the price of your antique or collectible.

I would recommend selling it online, there are many ways to do this, for instance: Post an ad on Craigslist. Use eBay to sell antiques online. Post a listing on the Etsy marketplace. Sell with direct messages using Instagram. Create a website using Squarespace or WordPress. Use Shopify to sell via a website, POS and social channels. List your items on Bonanza.com, Facebook Marketplaces or Amazon Marketplace. The higher number of ads the better, if you don’t have time, I would recommend to start with Facebook, Etsy and Amazon.

The key to selling antiques on-line is to let potential customers know that you know what you are talking about. It’s much more difficult to sell something when the potential buyer can’t be sure it is authentic. Sellers should use a well thought out descriptive guides, like this report. A good lead generation service should be helpful in establishing these relationships with online buyers, and an effective way to do this is through a classified ads. If a buyer asks for more information, giving them some valuable facts well ahead of time will get you more sales because your reputation increases and real customers are the ones who ask for more details.

In order to sell your Antiques online, you will need to create a profile on the relevant forum (Etsy, Amazon and FB). Make sure you add a high-resolution image of the product (include at least 3 detailed photos) and add some text. The text should be informative and straight to the point, nothing fancy or fluffy.

Asking price is a big factor to sell your antique. If your asking price is too high (fancy company stickers, missing parts, or chip paint) you are unlikely to get many bids. If the asking price is too low it will cost you money for repairs, shipping, and insurance. As a general rule, I would recommend setting an asking price that is 80% of the value of this report, so you will make the listing attractive from the beginning.

About the valuation method

This is a detailed report of the value of your piece. To determine the value the appraiser has considered the results from past auction sales. Keep in mind that the final price can be different from asking prices that you can find on the internet. You can see ads on the internet with different asking prices. However, a very high asking price doesn’t normally find cash from a buyer

That’s why our method comprises searching and comparing similar past sale results that had a buyer. That’s why we can provide an accurate estimation of this item.

To get an accurate valuation of your antique piece I considered: description, condition, and possible precious metal content. History, age, provenance, and the importance it has played in history are also considered. A crucial interest is a collector's willingness to buy this piece. While some antiques are really collectible, others are really difficult to sell, and hence their value decreases.

Antiques can be a good investment. A piece's year of manufacture, condition, rarity, and history can all influence an antique's value.Antiques, when bought wisely and carefully, can provide many good years and even decades of enjoyment before their value appreciates significantly. Antique furniture, paintings, prints and maps are not only useful works of art but also a tangible asset. Their value in the market increases every year making them great long-term investments for people who want to diversify their assets.

I have learned some new points from your web page about desktops. Another thing I have always thought is that laptop computers have become something that each home must have for many reasons. They provide convenient ways in which to organize homes, pay bills, shop, study, hear music and in some cases watch tv series. An innovative solution to complete every one of these tasks is with a computer. These computer systems are portable ones, small, strong and transportable.
