As an antique dealer, I am frequently asked questions about how to find the value of antiques, especially for pottery and glassware. How are antiques priced? What qualities or characteristics determine antique value?

How do we price antiques and collectibles?

Our pricing on antique value depends on four factors.

1. How much it cost the dealer to acquire the piece.

2. Researching the antique or collectible's antique book value.

3. What the dealer thinks the market will bear. If a piece is unusual or rare, it's usually priced as close to book value as the dealer believes they can get. The more common the piece, the lower below list price it will be.
