Is Chelsea pottery worth anything?

1 Answer
Is Chelsea pottery worth anything?
Yes, some Chelsea pottery is worth something. Collectors often seek out antique Chelsea pieces, categorizing them by their maker's marks. Some highly collectible porcelain wares from the maker come from the triangle period, which lasted from 1743 to 1750; the raised anchor period, which lasted from 1750 to 52; the red anchor period, which lasted from 1752 to 56 and the gold anchor period, which lasted from 1758 to 70. Some 18th- and 19th-century figurines, decorative boxes, teapots and other tableware may also be valuable, depending on the style, type, age and condition. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can be of assistance when determining how much Chelsea pottery may be worth. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of Chelsea porcelain.

Chelsea Porcelain Frill Vase with Birds, Rococo ca 1760
By Chelsea Porcelain
Located in London, GB
This is a charming frill vase made by the Chelsea Porcelain factory in about 1760. The vase is in the Rococo style and it speaks for itself why this style of vase is called a "frill" vase. This vase has undergone restorations (although it still holds water perfectly) and is therefore offered As Found (A/F) at a reduced price. Chelsea was one of the very early adopters of porcelain in the British china industry. Founded in 1744 the Chelsea pottery was for about 40 years the leading maker of fine chinaware, excelling in their sense of style, perfection and constant innovation and inspiring many following generations of china makers.
