Adelaide Robineau Porcelain Vase
Watch
APPRAISER:
For the most part, I agree with your story. The truth of the matter, though, is Robineau who did this pot, not your grandma. What happened is that I talked to someone else, I sold some Robineau pieces for her recently, her mother was a student of Robineau. Robineau gave her students pieces of hers. This is a Robineau pot itself. And that mark on the bottom is not your grandmom's initials, that is Robineau's signature, which nobody carves a mark like that on the bottom of a pot. She probably spent more time carving her mark on her piece than most people spend on their pots. This is really quite exceptional. She only made about 600 pieces during her lifetime, and this is one of the last pots she made. In fact, she was cremated shortly after this pot was made, and her husband said it was her last firing. This rather simple piece of pottery, made of high-fire porcelain and this great metallic glaze, is worth about $5,000 to $7,000. Very special piece of pottery, no kidding.

Oh!
Appraisal Details
Executive producer Marsha Bemko shares her tips for getting the most out of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW.
Value can change: The value of an item is dependent upon many things, including the condition of the object itself, trends in the market for that kind of object, and the location where the item will be sold. These are just some of the reasons why the answer to the question "What's it worth?" is so often "It depends."
Note the date: Take note of the date the appraisal was recorded. This information appears in the upper left corner of the page, with the label "Appraised On." Values change over time according to market forces, so the current value of the item could be higher, lower, or the same as when our expert first appraised it.
Context is key: Listen carefully. Most of our experts will give appraisal values in context. For example, you'll often hear them say what an item is worth "at auction," or "retail," or "for insurance purposes" (replacement value). Retail prices are different from wholesale prices. Often an auctioneer will talk about what she knows best: the auction market. A shop owner will usually talk about what he knows best: the retail price he'd place on the object in his shop. And though there are no hard and fast rules, an object's auction price can often be half its retail value; yet for other objects, an auction price could be higher than retail. As a rule, however, retail and insurance/replacement values are about the same.
Verbal approximations: The values given by the experts on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW are considered "verbal approximations of value." Technically, an "appraisal" is a legal document, generally for insurance purposes, written by a qualified expert and paid for by the owner of the item. An appraisal usually involves an extensive amount of research to establish authenticity, provenance, composition, method of construction, and other important attributes of a particular object.
Opinion of value: As with all appraisals, the verbal approximations of value given at ROADSHOW events are our experts' opinions formed from their knowledge of antiques and collectibles, market trends, and other factors. Although our valuations are based on research and experience, opinions can, and sometimes do, vary among experts.
Appraiser affiliations: Finally, the affiliation of the appraiser may have changed since the appraisal was recorded.
