Fairyland Lustre is probably the most valuable type of Wedgwood ceramics, and certainly one of the most valuable and collectible Antique Porcelain categories in general. 99% are large bowls and
vases that usually fetch anywhere between $4,000 and $6,000 at the auction. Pieces of unusual shape or pattern can bring a bit more, $7,000 to $9,000. Lily trays go for about $4,000.
Large covered vases are the most expensive. They have been selling for $20,000, even $30,000 a piece.
The condition is VERY important. Any damage, even a minor one such as a small hairline or a chip, reduces the value dramatically and often makes a piece practically worthless. Almost all lustre
has some gilt wear. Glaze scratches are also common. That does not affect the value much, if at all. Bowls and plates always ring when tapped. If there is no ring, look for some professional
restoration.
Maroon ground 'Furbolgs' items are worth about half as much as multi-color pieces.
One last tip. Look for crisp detailed decoration.
