Do not price dinnerware 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.
