    So, not antique but def vintage... hope that's okay!

    I'm hoping gauge the relative rarity (or lack of) of this set of mint condition Peter Shire mugs. There's a lot of Peter Shire online, but not much on this dipped/slab style. The closest match I found is on Worthpoint, and I really don't want to open a paid subscription to read about them! I'll probably search out one of those quickie one-off appraisal sites... can anyone recommend a favorite?

    Any input on this set welcomed! TIA ♡

    @Ninabeth can you post the link to the ones on Worthpoint, I think @Kronos has an account and maybe can tell you what they sold for:)
    these are cool looking mugs:) I've never heard of Peter Shire before, had to google his stuff.

    Thank you cxgirl! I'd never heard of Shire, either, until after I acquired these cups.

    These are a few links for Shire on Worthpoint, but this one is for mugs from the same era as mine.

    I also found a batch of 12 old ones that were sold on chairish•com -- they're in the "splatter" style which seems to be more abundant. (last link)
