Free vase appraisal app

Use Appraisily's free screener to identify old vases by material, maker, marks, age, condition, and auction evidence before choosing an appraisal path.

Generated editorial support image, not an auction lot. Vase appraisal depends on material, maker, period, scale, condition, and market category.

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.

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.

Close-ups of chips, cracks, crazing, repairs, restoration, labels, signatures, boxes, receipts, and provenance notes.
