What's it worth? Buying / Valuing EAPG glass - 1/18/2008 12:28:08 PM    huffjef   Posts: 1 Joined: 1/18/2008 Status: offline Collector books come with a VALUE GUIDE (quoted as BOOK VALUE or BV). I use these guides as just that, guides. It helps me to see "relative" value...value relative to other patterns, OR, to other pieces in the same pattern. I can pick out the "key" piece by its price in a value guide. Ex: If there were a 1,000 table sets (sugar, creamer, butter, spooner) made in a pattern, but only 100 vases were made, the key piece would be the vase. Obviously the vase would be priced higher since it is hard to get in order to "complete" the pattern/set...to have at least one of each form in a pattern. This is a very simple example, since most EAPG patterns came with berry sets, water sets, numerous compotes with or without lids, sauces, marmalades, pickles, fingerbowls, etc. And each maker had various methods of determining which pieces to make in what quantity. There were no "set" rules for the hundreds of glass pressers, issuing thousands of different patterns over a period of 90 years! Read the remainder of this interesting guide here Post #: 1
