Freeman Leidy Statuary

By lavaun, 19 August, 2011
Description

I would love to know what these are worth. If anyone has a clue. I have yet to find this type made by him.  Two pink, gold, and white birds.  No chips or cracks but glaze is crackling. Appears to be Capodimonte style.  Cabbage bowl had two areas broken off that were pourly glued back on.  Unknown where grandma bought them.  Although I've wiped off the dust I haven't completely cleaned the grime off of them as I'm afraid to.

I've seen the Freeman Leidy birds list with presale auction estimates of $200.00-$300.00.  There's been a few listed on Ebay for about $495.00 each. Freeman Leidy were also known as Ceramic Originals, located in business in Laguna Beach California circa 1944-1955.

Re: Freeman Leidy Statuary

In my research I've found his work selling for as much as 1,700.00 for a pair of birds but have been unsuccessful at finding anything even remotely like this style and am hoping these are rare.  If you have any idea how I might get a better idea of their worth please let me know.

Re: Freeman Leidy Statuary

Thank you for the information.  I am not sure how to go about selling these for my parents. I will have to check out EBay and maybe auction places.  I have other things I need appraisals on such as vintage jewelry, china, etc.  I am going to find out where to get appraisals in my area to sell.
