GUEST: One of them came from a garage sale, the one on my left, and this one came from a dealer.
APPRAISER: What'd you have to pay for the big one?
GUEST: I thought I paid too much. I paid $100 at a garage sale. But after I look at it, I really enjoy it quite a bit.
APPRAISER: It's done by an artist named Paul Daschel, who is probably the preeminent Austrian secessionist ceramic maker. Daschel's work is always well-respected by collectors, and this is a very, very fine piece. If we can show the Paul Daschel purple mark, "PD." The other piece is a bit of a mystery. We looked at this, a couple of my colleagues, and neither of us knew the name. It's Robert Hanke, and we can show the mark on that as well. It's also an Austrian piece, and it's an amazing little piece, with the bird and the design on it. Value, any thoughts about value?
GUEST: 100 bucks.
APPRAISER: 100 dollars.
GUEST: Plus, uh, I think I paid not very much, $40 to $50, so I felt like I got a great deal here.
APPRAISER: Well, both of these date from roughly 1905, I would say. The Daschel piece probably at auction, somewhere between $3,000 and $4,000. $100 sounds pretty good right now. The Robert Hanke piece, even though we don't know much about him, this is a piece that should be maybe in the $500 to $750 range, just because of what it is.
GUEST: Thank you!
APPRAISER: You're more than welcome, thank you.
GUEST: I appreciate this, this is great.
