Would You Insure a 14 1/2" Richard?

[ghopper1924]

OK, now that I have your attention.....

This is a Richard cameo vase ca. 1925. It is 14 1/2" tall and 4 3/4" wide at the base. The color is mostly maroon with a green band around the top.

From what I can tell these were made by Loetz, commissioned by Jouivre Company and sold through through the Etling Company, both of Paris.

Just got this at an estate auction in mid Missouri, U.S.

My question is...for replacement value, what would you insure this for?

That's a lot of vase! I haven't kept up with glass prices the past few years, but I wouldn't be surprised to see 1200+ on a piece that size. (I just was looking at the Woody auction coming up, and admired some of the cameo glass.)

Cool! Thanks Mr. Rauville!

I don`t know Ghopper,, these vases have not done too well !! I checked  Skinner and a few others and the sales have been low !! $150. to $300.was the majority with only a few higher than that !!  And there are a lot out there !!  Highest I saw was $1400.
Sometimes availability crashes the prices !!

[ghopper1924]

True. I'm thinking $600-$800 now. Still......good news!

If you are OK with that amount,,, go for it !!

Nice!

I would agree (unfortunately) that prices have been down.  I would go with the lower amount because....they will only pay the current value price (replacement).
