Question:
The following Orleans pieces were donated to our non-profit store and we’d appreciated an estimate of their current value. All are in excellent condition except one candlestick holder has two small chips on its top rim. Thank you. – Teapot with lid, creamer, sugar bowl with lid, 9" tall pitcher, salt and pepper shakers, casserole with cover, pair of candlestick holders (7" wide, 4" tall, one has two chips in top rim). Alison
Answer: Estimated values for Orleans items, assuming excellent condition:
Teapot with lid: $60-75
Creamer: $15-20
Sugar bowl with lid: $20-25
Pitcher: $50-60
Salt & Pepper pair: $20-25
Casserole with cover: $40-50
Candle holder pair: $70-80
The rim chips on the candleholder will reduce the value somewhat. On many of these candleholders the upright leaf has been broken and repaired, which would reduce the value considerably. Staining and glaze crazing is commonly found with Orleans pieces; this would reduce the value of an item in otherwise excellent condition.
