As a collector and reseller of
vintage collectibles, like many others, every few weeks go to the “lists.” The lists are what tell us what people are
searching for and we hope, if they are searching for, they are buying. As webmaster, I also check my own list, to
see what searches have landed people on my website, but there are also lists on
Tias and eBay that are published periodically for all to see. One name that has seems to be on these lists
for a little while now is Pfaltzgraff.
The name comes up so often probably because
they have been around for more than two hundred years and have made massive
amounts of product in that time. Based
in Pennsylvania this company has thousands of people who collect their pottery. Some of their most popular patterns include
the Yorktowne, Naturewood, Pistoulet and the ever popular Winterberry. Mind you, their pottery is normally not worth
thousands of dollars, but the right pieces will sell and sell briskly.
Some of the best prices realized by
antiques and collectibles dealers are for the antique crocks that are highly
decorated. Prices for some of the more
sought after crocks can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousands
of dollars or more. Pieces from their
Winterberry collection on the other hand don’t bring in a lot of money, but they
do sell. We recently saw a serving
platter go for about $50 and a set of appetizer plates for about $40.
