Pirkenhammer China

[tinwerd]

I have just 'inherited' a complete set of Pirkenhammer China for 12.  My grandfather purchased it while in Czechloslovakia in the 1930's which matches the hallmark (according to their website).  It has a 22kt. gold rim.  The set includes the regular:  plates, bowls, coffee cups/saucers, dessert plates along with dessert cups, gravy bowl, large platters, large bowls, some kind of urn/bowl.  How can I find out what the set is worth?  I don't know the number of pieces - just know that it is alot!  It has only been used a few times so it is in fantastic condition. 

Thank you - Tina

tina is your set showing a pattern number?

No there is no pattern number.  Each piece has the Pirkenhammer hallmark and then is stamped in 22 kt. gold.  That's it. Thanks - Tina

first of all the 22 karat gold is real.it's a term used after the 1930's. replacement value, for insurance purposes. $1,500.00 dollars.  resale value would be about half. trying to sell to a dealer. maybe $250.00 dollars.some of your larger covered pieces would sell in the range of a couple hundred dollars'

it's best to keep the set together.
