This is one of many Roseville pottery pieces sold recently at Auction Bay!
So much has been going on at Auction Bay, we’ve hardly had time to post an update! To make up for it, how about we share a big success?
A brand new consignor entered our store not long ago to sell a collection of Pottery. Not just any pottery, mind you… there are tons of pottery items on eBay, but this consignor’s pieces all boasted sought-after names and hard-to-find patterns, and some even had rare coloration! When it comes to pottery, we look for names like Roseville, and Hall and Hull and even McCoy. Other names like Van Briggle can bring sales, but an unmarked piece can be a very tough item to sell amidst a sea of similar pieces on eBay. Even small studio pottery pieces, which might have some local appeal, might not bring large sales on the worldwide marketplace from simple obscurity! So a sought-after name on a piece could make or break its sale. Sometimes, an Art Deco or Art Nouveau style to a piece of pottery
We offer cheers to this consignor, not only for the high range of sale, but for the fact that she took the effort before even coming into the store to research her items, and find out their pattern names, what the markings meant, and even brought in examples of similar pieces currently on eBay for reference! This lady now knows the fun we have each day, where we get to learn about items we might never have suspected we’d know about. She took an active role in her listings, and got to enjoy watching them get bid up all the higher because of it! Cheers and congratulations… and all the best of luck on the next batch of treasures!
