<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 350480, member: 308"]JMHO but I think having the original box is a bit overrated. They take an incredible amount of space to store and some collectors are re-evaluating the need to keep them and are selling or discarding the boxes. I'm at that point myself. I've already discarded all my Fenton boxes and Swarovski may be next. If there is something about the graphics on the box that are intriguing it will add value but most potteries weren't known for that. Paperwork may help value if it provides helpful information regarding the item like shape #, date, etc. and it's a lot easier to store - but most of that information for Rookwood is already on the bottom. Finally, a common item with an original box stands a better chance of selling than an item with no box but does not necessarily demand much of a premium.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
