Is majolica worth anything?

1 Answer
Is majolica worth anything?
Yes, some majolica is worth something. Many collectors seek out select pieces from well-known makers of tin-glazed earthenware, such as Wedgwood, George Jones and Minton, and rare items can sometimes sell for thousands of dollars. However, selling prices for majolica vary greatly based on age, type, style, condition and other factors. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can help you determine how much any pottery you own is worth. Shop a large selection of majolica pottery on 1stDibs.
