Description
I have a Fraunfelter teapot I bought at a yard sale and ahven't been able to find out much other than they where in Zanesville, Ohio. I have seen another one picture that is in the Minneaplois art institute, but isn't as decorated as mine.
I'd like to know what kind of value it holds

Re: Fraunfelter Teapot
History:
In 1915, Charles Fraunfelter purchased a failing Ohip Pottery Company that produced kitchenware, mixing bowls, and bean pots. Fraunfelter turned it into a China company that would make China for the kitchen. In 1925, the company changed the Fraunfelter China company so this means that your teapot is dated between 1925 to 1939. The company filed for bankruptcy in 1939 and went out of business.
Market & Vaue:
The market for Fraunfelter China is strong at the moment. Your item appears to be in great condition and I'd value it a $40.
Recent Selling Price:
The recent average selling price for your item is $32.39 which is below the valued price. I'd reccomend holding onto it until the value increases!
