Re: Egyptian clay head

The bad news: Memories in your family are probably a little foggy, as this piece is almost certainly not older than 130 years old, and is probably only 90 years old. The mark on the back is held upside down and the quality of the photo is very grainy, but I'm very certain that its probably the hallmark of the Wahliss porcelain factory.

The good news: Wahliss made very fine porcelain and earthenware, and their pieces are considered fairly desirable.

The ugly news: This piece is so unique that I have no idea on how to price it. It was likely made in the 1920s after Howard Carter's discovery of Tut's tomb in 1922 sparked a craze for all things Ancient Egypt.
