Identifying Pottery – The Perfect Pieces Appraisal & Valuation Service
We get lots of enquiries and phone calls about items of pottery you have or have come across which is why we created the Perfect Pieces Pottery Appraisal and Valuation Service.
This is an online service where, after receiving pictures from you of the piece you want to know more about, we will do our best to provide you with the following information:
- Information about the item itself
- Background information about the pottery it was made by
- An approximate valuation.
To see full details of this valuation service, please – click here.
We do get alot of telephone calls asking for valuations and information about pieces of pottery and figurines you try to describe to us over the telephone.
Whilst we appreciate that not everyone has the facility to email digital photographs or send us a real photograph through the post, unfortunately we are unable to offer valuations over the telephone – it just isn’t possible to provide an accurate appraisal of a piece from a verbal description. Sorry!

My father is looking to get a valuation in respect of a set of 12 sailing ship tankards by danbury mint.
Is there anywhere that i can possibly take them to get valued as i dont have the facility to place photos online.

Hello,
I have a vintage vase given to me by my grandmother. Its base is marked “Royal Haeger R33 USA,” and is a leaf pattern in a mottled mauve and blue glaze. It is 13″ tall. She purchased it in the early to mid-1950s. How can I learn its value?

I don’t know if anyone will be able to help me or point me in the right direction, any useful websites or links would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Kensington vase with the Staffordshire knot mark at the base.
It has the name “GLORIA” Kensington, then the Staffordshire knot has the initials KPB within the loops.
I understand that the letter B in the knot stands for Burslem, but I have no way of dating the vase as I cant seem to find the exact knot mark anywhere on the internet.
The knot mark reads.
“GLORIA”
Kensington
KPB (within knot loops)
ware
England
Please let me know if you know about Staffordshire Pottery or if you know the year it was made, or the value.
Any help would be great.
Thank you and Kind regards.

We have a Royal Staffordshire Mayflower Pattern Plate Set comprising one large plate and four small plates. Photos are available. Believe that it could have been manufactured around 1928. Could you please advise an approximate value.

I have a beautiful Vase I think between 1793 to 1813 The large red blue purple flowers seem faded when made it has a dark green band also dark blue handles the paint looks like the glase has run.
On the base mark Royal British pottery a small blue 24 and not sure looks abit like D&6/—car’t read I am sure I once seen a vase like this on TV for the age it has no chips or cracks and just sits on my kitchen windowsill.
