- Photograph the full vase, base, marks, rim, interior, decoration, repairs, chips, and size.
- Separate porcelain, pottery, glass, bronze, export, studio, and decorative vases.
- Use a free screener for triage; use a paid appraisal for insurance, estate, donation, or sale support.
Key value drivers
Vase value depends on material, maker, period, size, decoration, condition, restoration, provenance, and whether the vase belongs to art glass, porcelain, pottery, or decorative arts.
Auction evidence from Appraisily's database
These records are market examples, not final appraisals. Condition, authenticity, provenance, size, maker, completeness, and demand can materially change value.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| French porcelain vases | Leonard Joel | May 3, 2026 | Pair of antique French porcelain pot pourri vases | AUD 4800 | Maker and form can drive value. |

Condition and authenticity cautions
Do not price vases from photos alone. Repairs, restoration, chips, cracks, crazing, replaced pieces, fake marks, later reproductions, and incomplete sets can change the appraisal path.
Photo checklist
- Full object or set, front, back, base, maker marks, pattern, decoration, measurements, and scale reference.
- Close-ups of chips, cracks, crazing, repairs, restoration, labels, signatures, boxes, receipts, and provenance notes.
