Data basis

A small, inspectable evidence set

Reviewed auction-evidence modules published in Appraisily articles The snapshot was reviewed on Jul 25, 2026. It is a curated teaching set, not a complete auction database or a price index.

Prices are displayed in each sale's native currency. We do not convert or combine them into a cross-currency average, median, range, or trend.

Object group

Pottery marks

A mark can narrow the maker and period, but attribution, form, condition, and date still determine whether a sale is genuinely comparable.

Demi-lune tables

Comparable judgment

Why two sold prices can differ

  • Maker, artist, attribution confidence, material, period, size, and subject can separate two objects that share a broad category.
  • Condition, restoration, completeness, provenance, edition details, and documentation can materially change buyer interest.
  • Auction venue, sale date, location, buyer pool, and reporting conventions affect the result shown for a particular lot.
  • A reported auction result does not reveal every private transaction, later attribution change, or cost attached to the sale.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you

  • Prices are reported public auction outcomes and may include or exclude buyer premiums or fees depending on the source.
  • Each record describes a specific sold lot; it is not an appraisal or a value conclusion for another object.
  • Condition, attribution, provenance, rarity, size, completeness, restoration, and sale context can materially change a result.
  • Currencies are preserved as reported and are not converted, so cross-currency price comparisons are not like-for-like.
  • Private sales and off-platform transactions are not represented.
