Title: Stoneware
Post by: debodun on May 23, 2015, 03:33:42 PM: I've finally gotten around to doing inventory on the stoneware I inherited. Too many photos to post here, but I put pics of most here:

Any idea of their value?

I really like the Satterlee & Mory jar.

I have a local man interested in buying my stoneware and I promised he would have first choice. Now that I'm ready to deal, I am trying to get an idea of what a fair price would be. Some of these are difficult to find exact matches like eBay.

I really like the chicken watering crock!!! Just this style in good shape and the large size sells for $75 - $95! (Not sure of the size of yours)

Post by: debodun on May 24, 2015, 11:46:20 AM: The chicken water dispenser is gallon size. I mentioned that in the photo caption.

I know this guy won't pay $800 for everything. He already offered me $20 for the Ft. Edward jug (probably worth at least $150) when he first looked. I turned down that offer. Well, I'd said I would let him have "first choice"; that doesn't mean I have to accept his offers. I was curious about the hand-painted jug. Does that primitive artwork add or detract from the value? I sold a brown & white 5 gallon jug last weekend for $10 and it had a huge crack in it.

My brain is pretty tired after a couple of nights like this and days of storms/high waters! My apologies.
