Only the one, 14” red charger is for sale here.

After I purchased these four bowls from an auction, I discovered a piece of paper in the box with the plates that describes at least some of these bowls. I spent a lot of time, trying to figure out which description applied to which of the four bowls. The only one I’m pretty sure about is that the bottom description is talking about THIS ONE, the 14 inch bowl, because they included a measurement. This is the only one that measures 14 inches across. Please read the notes for yourself and do your own research.

I also included a photo of all four plates / bowls that came with this one so you can read the notes and figure out which notes apply to which pieces, if you know more about antique balls than I do. And just so you’ll have all the possible information about this.

I found a few other similar bowls that were 14 inches and from the 1700s-1800s. The prices were $900-$1200. I did include a screenshot of one in the last photo but I don’t know if Chairish will include it or not.

MY GUARANTEE IS THAT I WILL BE HONEST ABOUT MY ITEMS AND FAIR WITH MY PRICING.

There are three steps involved in pricing for me.

1. Use an app called Google Lens to take a photo of any item. It will bring up similar items and how much they sell/sold for. This is also helpful in figuring out what to call or how to describe the item.

2. Do a Google search for the name of the item.

3. Do a search for the item by name on Chairish and another similar site.

Since I am being fair with my pricing I want you to know these steps. It will only help me by validating my pricing choices, and I hope it will help you to recognize items that are overpriced.

Feel free to ask me any questions and make an offer.

Thank you!
