Need help in valuing a serving dish
« on: March 24, 2025, 07:37:51 PM »
Hello,
I have a dish made around the mid nineties.  It is 13" long and 6" at the widest point of dish.  There is a scene of a building called "State Normal and Dormitory", Spearfish, So. Dakota.
Does anyone have an idea as to its worth?

Hi!
Please post pictures of the dish, close ups of front and back and any manufacturer markings! 
Condition makes a big difference in value as well.
Look forward to seeing your pictures.

Hello,
I have a dish made around the mid nineties.  It is 13" long and 6" at the widest point of dish space waves.  There is a scene of a building called "State Normal and Dormitory", Spearfish, So. Dakota.

Since it was made around the mid-1990s, it's not really an "antique" (which usually means 100 years old or older). It would fall into the more classic collectible category. The "State Normal and Dormitory, Spearfish, So. Dakota" scene is an interesting touch, as it ties into a specific historical place and time, which might appeal to collectors interested in local history, college memorabilia, or even those with a personal connection to Spearfish or the institution (now Black Hills State University).

It might help to check auction sites or collector groups for similar mid-90s commemorative dishes. Local historical societies or alumni associations from Black Hills State could also be good resources to gauge interest.

That's a really interesting piece! A dish depicting a historic building like that, especially from the '90s, could have some value to collectors interested in local history or specific institutions. Good luck!
