Tiffany Bronze Plate.....Have lots of questions.

Hey All! I didn't see a better category for this, so I am posting it here...

This belongs to someone else, I am helping her. I didn't think of it but I will also invite her here. So, anyway..... she needs help and this is out of my area.

Looks authentic? I did a lot of googling. I guess my primary questions are about value and which auction house should I/We point her toward? She is in Mississippi.

She is not an ebay seller.

Thanks in advance.

 

Very nice!

According to this site, that name came into being in 1920.
The article is about glass and not metal items, so further searching should be done I'd think.

Ah! I see you've probably already found that from your own queries to Mrs. Google.

 

Yes, I saw that, but thank you! Prices seem all over the place?

 

They certainly are. Here's a number 505 bowl - admittedly not as colorful - the lot was passed at a very low number.

So is the color in the rim design of your friend's plate glass enamel?

 

No idea, really. I'll ask.

 

This one?

Nope, sorry. This one. a 405.

All of their 'bronze' bowls look like brass

 

Glad you both popped on. Where should I point her to sell?

 

I think it's gilded?

 

Bronze dore. (Sorry I don't know how to add the accent.)

I don't either, but thank you for all your time and trouble, B/Sue.....as always. OX

No one else even had an opinion as to where to send her? Sweet.

 

How strange? The 505 has ruby glass and the 405 has the green? What am I missing? The 505 posted here has green?Thank you

 

Never mind..I need to read ALL the descriptions.

 

Shiloh, at least you responded. I was so embarrassed to tell that woman that my very special group of experts couldn't be bothered? Shame on your stupid little clicks!

Shame on you! All I wanted was to help someone else and came here?

 

I don't recall anyone here being from the south

I think the best market for this is in the northeast

 

I have never sent anything other than locally, but I know someone will come along who has experience, I have seen and read popular venues here. I think it can sometimes be a let down if the price is disappointing sometimes (not always) and it is Tiffany...but the fee's and premiums. Hopefully someone will come along with some idea on close estimated value or best way to sell
thats my story and up late and sticking to it....
