## About Jim Malone

Jim Malone is an unresolved artist identity in the available public-source pack. Two collection-object records credit a Jim Malone with thrown studio ceramics: an incised jug and a glazed bowl associated with the W.A. Ismay Studio Ceramics Collection at York Art Gallery. These objects provide useful evidence for a ceramics context, but the pack does not contain an institutional biography, reliable life dates, nationality, or a confirmed movement affiliation. The Appraisily market index also matches the name across several broad auction categories, including paintings, works on paper, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. That diversity may reflect incomplete cataloguing or records belonging to multiple people with the same name. Collectors should therefore identify a work through its medium, construction, signature or inscriptions, provenance, date, and auction-house description rather than relying on the artist name alone. Biographical claims should remain provisional until an authoritative artist or museum profile is located.

## Common works and media

The clearest documented objects in the source pack are thrown studio-pottery vessels: an incised jug with ash-clay, ochre, and nuka surface treatments, and a footed bowl with brown and green glaze. The auction index also places the name in broader categories covering paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions. Because no authoritative biography connects all of those categories to one person, each work should be assessed individually and category matches should not be assumed to share the same maker.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current index contains 158 matched auction records for Jim Malone, including 148 priced records spanning 2008 through 2026. The observed results run from $30 to $850, but these figures should not be treated as a single coherent market until the creator represented by each lot is verified. For appraisal, compare works with the same medium, dimensions, date, subject, construction, condition, and attribution status. Signatures, inscriptions, edition information, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can also affect comparability. Public realized prices may be reported under different fee conventions, while private sales and revised attributions may be absent. A defensible valuation should use closely matched lots and resolve any same-name ambiguity first.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine cautious artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when available. Same-name ambiguity, incomplete feeds, private sales, and attribution changes may limit the record set.
