What to send
For a valuation, use the valuation form — it asks for the photographs I actually need and saves a round of emails. To ask about a piece in the collection, use the form below; if you arrived here from a specific object its reference is already filled in. For other questions, choose the closest enquiry type and add a message below.
The more specific the question, the more useful the answer. “Is the foot ring glazed?” gets a photograph back. “Is it genuine?” gets the guarantee, which already answers it.
What you can ask for
- A condition report — every fault itemised, with photographs, before you commit. Please request one before deciding to buy.
- More photographs of any detail: the mark at macro scale, the foot in raking light, the interior.
- An offer on a piece. Prices are considered, but I would rather have a conversation than a silent discount.
- A viewing — see arrange a viewing.
- Help finding something that is not here. I buy continuously and can often find a comparable piece; tell me what you are after.
