Elegant Glass

Elegant glass

As with all collectibles that are subject to wide price fluctuations, elegant glass seems to be in a bit of slump right now. Many pieces of elegant glass are selling for well below price guide values. Just the other day I saw a Heisey crystolite jam jar sell on ebay for only $10.49! This Heisey jam jar has a book value in the neighborhood of $75.00. And keep in mind I haven’t updated to the most recent price guide so the book value may be even higher. I’ve started searching Ebay for bargains on elegant glass items.

I have found some real steals on Heisey, Cambridge, Morgantown, Fostoria Westmoreland, Fenton, etc. I’ve found that in the past 10 years, shop prices seem to be on the high side and Ebay prices are on the lower side. With ebay you can build a world class collection of elegant glass for a fraction of price guide values.

Now would be a good time to begin or expand your collection of elegant glassware; it will surely increase in value as the market recovers. A combination of things probably contributed to the decline in prices this wonderful glass is bringing. A general discomfort with the economy, and then the sub-prime mortgage mess, have made us all think twice before spending on life’s “frills”. Whatever the reason, wise collectors can increase their collections and add some pieces that were previously out of reach.

Liberty Blue Price Guide

My Liberty Blue Price Guide

Although my website is dedicated mostly to antique glass, I also have dealt quite a bit with china and pottery items. One of my favorite patterns is Liberty Blue made in Staffordshire, England in the mid 1970’s to commemorate the US Bicentennial. Odd that England would be making china for the American market to commemorate its Independence from The British Crown.

I’ve never really found an accurate price guide to determine values of Liberty Blue pieces so I though I would list an average of the prices that I’ve gotten over the past 15 years, both on Ebay and in my space at the Ballston Spa Antique Center. You should keep in mind that these are prices realized in Upstate New York, and not meant to be considered “book” or “retail” values; they are simply the average prices realized, both in my shop and on Ebay.

As a general rule, I find the more common items to sell for less on ebay than they do in the shop. However, the more expensive items tend to bring a premium on ebay, especially if they are in the orig. boxes. Keep in mind that having the origjnal box can bring as much as 30% to 40% more, especially for rare items like the soup tureen. The most common Liberty Blue item I have found in the box is the cup and saucer.

Feel free to use this Liberty Blue guide that I’ve come up with but again, keep in mind that thorough research of current market trends needs to be done before you make a purchase as these are my estimates and opinion only.

TIPS FOR SHIPPING

admin — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:01:27 +0000

I have been selling on Ebay and shipping very fragile items for the past 10 years with less than a handful of damage claims. My personal experience has been that using plenty of medium bubble-wrap and peanuts will get the job done.

When packaging a vase, goblet, or any other item that has an open interior space, it is important to fill that space. Use either some peanuts or tissue paper so that there won’t be any “void” space in your box. Wrap well in the bubble wrap – best not to skimp here – and then leave plently of room so that the item rests firmly in the middle of plenty of peanuts.

Using tape that is at least 2.6 mil will assure that the tape will stay in place and not start to crinkle as it goes through the shipping-to-delivery process. I always use a large red FRAGILE label on all of my packages. It is worth the little extra investment to insure an uneventful and safe trip.

I get most all of my shipping supplies right on eBay. I’ve shopped all over town and the prices on eBay are the best I found.
