Topic: Whitefriars Bark Vase - Approximate Value?

[shandiane78]

Would anyone be willing to give me a value range for this? It's 9 1/8" (around 23 cm) tall and am I right that the color would be called Meadow Green?

Thanks in advance!

Yup. That's Meadow Green.

Best way to find a value would be to hunt through eBay, although any buyer will most likely be UK-based so you have to take into account how the trans-Atlantic postage will affect the final price.

Thanks Nic. I've been checking current and completed items on ebay, but haven't seen this color come up.

Might be worth trying the archived auction results here:

They're a little out of date as the market has slowed a little since, but it might be useful in gaining an approximate idea.

Thanks Nic! That's a very helpful link. I was able to find a couple in there that sold for £150 and £160, so maybe $200 US is a good conservative guestimate?

Ah, honestly not a clue. If it's an eBay sale then most of the more interesting Whitefriars pieces find their own level, whether you start them at 1 cent or around market value - they all seem to end at more or less the same.

But there are always those pesky proverbial exceptions going around proving rules....

Steve, I may or may not list it on ebay, but I'll try to give you a holler if I do!
