## About Edwin Scheier

Edwin Scheier (1910–2008) was an American ceramicist and artist whose public identity records also classify him as a sculptor. He is best known for ceramic work associated with his wife, Mary Scheier, making careful authorship and collaboration labels important when identifying objects attributed to the Scheiers. Authority records connect Edwin Scheier with the fuller name Edwin A. Scheier and provide stable identifiers through Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and ISNI. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with ceramic or sculptural works, including pieces catalogued jointly with Mary. The available source pack does not provide enough institution-grade detail to assign a specific movement, enumerate subjects, or describe named series without speculation. Appraisal research should therefore begin with the object itself and distinguish documented identity facts from conclusions about authorship, date, or market value.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter ceramic works by Edwin Scheier, including works associated jointly with Mary Scheier, as well as objects described in sculptural terms. The collected sources do not establish a reliable list of recurring forms, subjects, named series, editions, or production periods, so those details should be verified object by object.

## Market and appraisal context

Auction appraisal should distinguish works attributed solely to Edwin Scheier from collaborative works associated with Edwin and Mary Scheier. The medium and type of ceramic or sculptural object help determine which public sales are genuinely comparable. Reliable analysis may also consider the catalogue attribution, sale date, realized price, and consistency among comparable lots. This source pack identifies an Appraisily auction-record signal but does not include accessible major-auction-house details, individual lot descriptions, condition reports, or provenance histories. It therefore supports category-level market context, not a price prediction. Any valuation should be based on examination of the particular object and on verified, sufficiently similar public sales.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Identity and market evidence are kept distinct so incomplete records do not become unsupported attribution or value claims.
