Quick value checklist

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.

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.
