Description I've had a small piece of pottery for several years. Prior to that it was in my father's house since at least the 1970s. I have always fancied it and my dad gave it to me on a birthday a few years ago. Anecdotally, my father said it was at least 100 years old. At this point he cannot recall price paid or where he purchased the piece. Two questions: 1. Is it worth getting appraised, i.e. can you tell anything of value from the pic or two. 2. Would anyone have an interest in appraising just a single piece. I am sorry for not being able to provide more information about this piece
