Pricey Pieces
Though many pieces of undecorated Marblehead Pottery bring one or two hundred dollars on eBay, decorated pieces may sell at auction for many thousands of dollars. The items documented below each had a reported sale price (including buyer’s premium) of more than $5000. It should be recognized that condition may be less than perfect in some of the most uncommon pieces. The prices listed for seemingly similar pieces are often divergent because of variations in the condition of each piece.
