My mom is getting rid of some antiques that she has had for over 20 years.

She has a cabinet full of miniature Rose Medallion pieces but has no idea what she paid for them or what they are worth.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I'd hate for her to take them to an antique dealer and take the first offer because she doesn't know the real value.

Thanks!

Vicki

Production of these ended in the late 1880s but imports continued
into the early 20th century. If they are stamped "Made in China" or "China"
they were imported from 1890 on.
Here are a couple websites for you to read/compare what she has
and perhaps write to (the first one gives a link to ask questions)
one of these people with photos looking for comments.

Can you post some pictures of her collection? And what do you mean by "miniatures"? Child size or doll house size pieces?

The quality of the painted decoration and the condition is very important. And of course how they are marked underneath.

We really need to see some good pictures of what your mother has.
