## About Andre Metthey

André Metthey (1871–1920), also recorded as André Méthey, was a French ceramicist. The collected authority network identifies him as a distinct artist through Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, Library of Congress, and Bibliothèque nationale de France records. A French biographical source gives his birth as June 4, 1871, in Laignes and his death as March 31, 1920, in Asnières-sur-Seine. The available evidence firmly establishes ceramics as his field but does not provide enough institutional detail to assign a specific movement, school, recurring subject, or named series. Appraisily currently associates his artist page with 280 indexed auction records, explaining why collectors and appraisers may encounter his name in market research. Variant spellings and accented forms should be checked carefully when matching an object or catalogue entry to this artist.

## Common works and media

The collected evidence supports ceramic works as the reliable broad category associated with André Metthey. It does not establish recurring vessel types, decorative subjects, named series, editions, or specific ceramic techniques. Objects offered under either André Metthey or André Méthey should therefore be matched against documented cataloguing and relevant comparable auction records rather than assigned to a narrower body of work from name recognition alone.

## Market and appraisal context

Market interpretation for André Metthey should begin with a reliable identity match, including recognition of the André Méthey spelling variant. The collected evidence establishes that he was a French ceramicist and that Appraisily associates his page with 280 auction records. It does not, however, expose the lot descriptions, sale dates, realized prices, condition reports, provenance, or attribution language needed for an artist-specific valuation conclusion. Comparable records should therefore be reviewed individually when available. The present source pack supports ceramics as the broad auction category, but it does not justify claims about particular forms, techniques, subjects, market trends, scarcity, or price premiums.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with indexed auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Source gaps are retained rather than replaced with unsupported market conclusions.
