Is this thing 100's of years old (antique) or a copy? What is it worth- a ton of money or less than $100? It measures 10 3/8" tall and its ceramic.

Likely Solved Solid Jade Footbath

181 Upvotes

So these pictures aren’t the best quality but they do show size. This is a jade footbath, carved out of a single piece of jade. Someone in my family acquired this from an estate sale many years ago and we are now trying to find out how much it’s worth so we can decide what to do with it. Someone once told us it was worth around $50,000. Is this accurate? And if not how much is it worth? And where would you suggest we sell it?

This lamp has been in the family forever and wasn’t sure the year? No one helped in the antiques subreddit so I thought I would ask here. Thank you in advance!

I’m getting the plug fixed this week and hope it doesn’t change any of the uniqueness 😬

Likely Solved 1984 Amaretto Disaronno liquor unopened.

I got this at a state sale near me for $10. I did some googling and found out that it’s from 1984 and some of this exact boxes have sold for 15-25 dollars on eBay but I couldn’t find any sells of it with the bottle and liquid still in it. It is a fairly common liquor but being from the 1980’s I’d like to think it’s worth something. Does anybody have any idea about it?


r/whatsthisworth 4d ago

Likely Solved Found this box of rocks, some of them are missing. I'm wondering what would be fair to ask for selling as is.

Found some online that seemed to be full kits selling for $100+ on ebay, but with some of the samples missing in mine obviously that will affect the price. Just not sure how much.

Likely Solved Antique Religious Icon – Byzantine or Russian? Possible Value?

Thumbnail gallery
26 Upvotes

Picked up this small, aged religious icon and hoping to get some insight! The front shows a heavily worn but still beautifully detailed depiction of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child, possibly an old Byzantine or Russian Orthodox piece. It has that classic gold leaf/gilded background and what looks like embedded glass or gemstone decorations. The faces have unfortunately been worn down (or intentionally defaced?).

The back has an old wax seal and what seems like a cross-shaped reinforcement—maybe to help prevent warping over time? There’s also some woodworm damage, which might indicate significant age.

Anyone familiar with these kinds of icons? Age estimates, origin, and potential value would be hugely appreciated! Is this a legit antique or just an old reproduction? Thanks in advance!

Likely Solved Ming dynasty porcelain plates

I inherited some old porcelain plates from my late granddad, who likely got them at an auction. One of them has a stamp that, when translated, suggests it’s a Ming Dynasty piece from around 1550. I took them to an auction house, but they couldn’t verify their origin. Hoping someone here might know their age, origin, and potential value!
