As it is at an auction...has the auction house put an estimate on it,..over here in UK...auction house,s put theit evaluation on certain items...if there is no evaluation.then this usually means that it is,nt worth a great deal, and it will start at the lowest bid...which is in my area £1

To me, it looks more like a decorative piece that I wouldn't care to spend too much on.

Can`t see bottom,, is it marked in anyway ??  I tend to agree that it is lower end ware !!

Looks like a 1970s or 80s neo-Victorian reproducton. Not worth much.

Thanks for the help.. I figured at moat it would be worth $75.00 at like a resale store... If i can get it for around 25 ill be happy... Ill look at it when i get there and see if there are any markings on bottom and go from there.

I bought one last week and it has "Geldreich 75' " on the bottom of bowl and pitcher.. Tried to find it online but couldnt find a single thing. I paid $10.00 for it.. My brother in law got a plate for $3.00. Here is a link to the only site i could find with the plate..

$25. or $35. would be about tops for the first one !!  75 is likely the year made on the other one !!  They made a lot of reproductions through the 70`s and early 80`s !!  Haven`t  looked at the plate yet !!  But at those prices,, you can`t go wrong !!
