[QUOTE="Danno, post: 274571, member: 4548"]This is a very lovely piece, Sassy and you did well acquiring it for a modest three dollars. That in itself is reason to get a little excited. However, as anyjewelry articulates, older does not imply more valuable. Value is a function of supply and demand. Demand, in turn, is a function of aesthetic appeal, collective appeal and functional appeal. Aesthetic appeal...I want this piece because it looks beautiful. Collective appeal....I want this piece because I feel that it will appreciate as market dynamics evolve. Functional appeal.....I want this piece because I can make effective use of it. There are plenty of pottery pieces over two thousand years old that are worth less than $100 and these are in perfect condition.[/QUOTE]
