Upper Hanley, England gravy boat
« on: July 23, 2012, 07:48:38 pm »
Hello again all :)

    My mother bought this gravy boat from a thrift store for $2.99 and wanted me to hunt down it's value. I managed to find this http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/1018.htm
so I know the age is 1895-1900. And from the stamp I know it's the "Victoria" pattern.

    It's got no chips/cracks and maintains most of the pattern and much of the gold. There are some normal spots where the pattern has worn away a bit (mostly on the handle). It's about 8 inches long, 4 inches tall at the highest point.

   Any thoughts on the value? Hopefully more than $2.99, haha.

I'm not the expert on value for things like this, but definitely more than $2.99!

$20? $30? $40?

Gravy boats in general tend to sell better than other pieces from the same set !! Mainly because they were optional purchases and did not always come as part of the service !! So many times only the wealthier families had them !!  Just like a tureen could be purchased as an addition to the set !! Due to some condition issues I would say $20. to $25.
