I enjoy Dr.Lori so much. You lift my spirits every time I watch you. I have been in the past in this same business. Great job and thank you for all the great information you pass out.
Happy to hear you enjoy the vids:)
Just wanted compliment you in you vast knowledge. Shows a real passion for antiques.
Thanks for commenting and watching!
Wow on the ginger jar and the Jug!!! Love them!! Learning so much just in a few video Dr. Lori! Exciting!!
Happy to hear it!
I've found so many hidden gems at the thrift store since I began watching your videos!
I know. I am showing you all the money at the thrift stores and what's more... I leave the good stuff there for you. I don't buy it up and then try to sell it back to my channel viewers like some do. Go get it!
Love your humor and Ive learned so much watching your videos
I'm so glad!
You ma’am make me enjoy history :) first time in my life. Thank You 🙏🏻
I am so coming to one of your events soon as I can and that is for sure. I just love antiques finding out what they are worth and what they were used for during that time period.
My events are fun as you see in the videos
Awesomeness. Can not get enough of you Dr Lori. 💕🌹💕
Binge watching more in Kentucky!❤
When purchasing a ginger jar at a thrift store I carried the base around the store and later found the lid in the table ware section with the cups.
There you go!
New subscriber here...Just discovered Dr. Lori and loving it! I must say that one of the first things I learned about collecting glass/ceramics/pottery is NEVER hold those pieces by the handles as they are the weakest point of the pieces and break so easily, that's why so many pieces over the years have lost value due to missing & broken handles. I was so nervous watching you swing that Majolica piece by the handle that I realized it gave me great anxiety. LOL Keep up the good work, looking forward to binge watching your shows ! Thanks !
Welcome, "Hershey Bar"! I've handled many items in my day at my events and during my art museum career. Hope you continue to enjoy the videos :)
Thank u Dr. V.😃 I just found ur videos. I was looking for somewhere to learn about antiques and how to know what's what, as I have been collecting, but want to do it seriously. I have learnt so much already!!👍 N u make it easy and fun!!😃
Welcome Jacqueline. Thanks for the feedback. I've got more vids on my website too at www.DrLoriV.com/videos
Thank you Dr Lori I love watching your binge playlist I'm learning so much 💕 I will definitely be sharing this
Everyone needs to share more videos link in the groups they host and visit. Enough of you do that I can do a video every day!
I knew what those Japanese picnic bento boxes were, you were on the mark. I am blown away the depth and breadth of your knowledge.
Years of education, tuition, and experience. Thanks for the comments.
THAT is what I want to go to college for
I LOVE DR Lori ! AWESOME!
Love you! Thanks for subbing to the channel.
Excellent information and just up my alley...thrift store, yard sales, flee markets and my favorite storage auctions. I have a oil painting that I want you to look that I found in a storage locker that I purchased last year, I will try to send some photos in the next day or two. I learned from another one of your video to look at the back first, very interesting.
Garry, Glad you enjoy the vids. I can help. I'll look for the photos submitted through my website.
So happy I found you Lori! Love your channel
Welcome LaRee!
Nice. I found a jug that was glazed with red leaves on it, and the handles looked like tan wooden branches. It had E S on the bottom, and a four digit serial number.
Great! If you'd like me to identify and value your jug, I can help.
@@DrLoriV Well Dr. Lori, it's in storage right now. I was trying to find a pic of it in one of my emails. I try and get a snapshot of all my finds. I actually found a gravy boat one time, with hallmarks, and a ram's head beneath the handle, I think it was pewter, but,..somebody stole it from me a few years back. I do have a question for you. I would actually like to be an appraiser's,..um,..do they even use the word apprentice anymore when it comes to that field?
Hi Will, I look at pictures submitted using the form on my website. And I get the how to be an appraiser a lot. I've got a Ph.D. in the field, watch all my videos, read my articles, and attend my events. You'll learn a lot and have a good time doing it too!
😎😎😎
Interesting value on the pitcher. Material history educational.
that is really such a beautiful pitcher, no matter what the value!
Yes
Wow on the pitcher!!!
Dr Lori! I loved this video! glass has always been my thing! ..but pottery , scares me to death!! Thanks for another great video!
Thanks Lisa! We're editing new videos on glass and ceramics too. Hope to share them soon!
...... VERY COOL! ....... TO FIND SO MANY ...... UNEXPECTED ...... TREASURES! .....
MANY TIMES .... EVEN IN A HEAP ..... OF MANURE! ..... THANK YOU DR. LORI
FOR SENDING ...... ALL THE "THRIFTERS" ...... STRAIGHT TO THE BANK! .......
I'm trying to help you all, but I take a lot of heat too. A lot of people don't want you to know how to find the valuables.
@@DrLoriV ...... "Many are called .... few are chosen!" ....... If it's the real McCoy ....... it's
a RUBY! ........
I usually don't like Majolica, but that piece is super cute. I'm new to your videos Dr. Lori, I think you rock!!
Welcome! Thanks glad you enjoyed the video
What a wonderful lady . I'd love to hire her to come shopping in the second hand shops with me
Thanks Wayne. People do take me along shopping using FaceTime, Skype, etc.
About 2-3 years ago I found a Fedrick walrath pottery vase. I know it’s work that a lot but don’t know how much exactly. I don’t know what I should do with it and where to sell it and how much to sell it for.
If you know what I should do please let me know.
Send me Photos. Use the form on my website.
So if it’s worth a lot. Where would I even sell it? An auction?
@@leapsoffaith My online appraisal reports include a location where a similar piece sold.
Ok thanks
THANK YOU I LOVE WATCHING YOU WHEN I CAN I WILL REACH OUT TO YOU HAVE A FEW PIECES NEED A APPRAISED
Happy to hear it! Thanks for watching :)
I love your brain, your fast pace, even if it's an item I'm not particularly interested in, damn - I learn something every single time. Clone yourself. Or move near me. You're the best find of all. P.S. I ain't all that fond of that many people.
lol on the "P.S." I wish I could clone myself.
I LOVE this kind of video!!!! Thank you Dr. Lori.
Thanks for watching Roma K
A lot of people will not buy a chipped item, but I think it adds to the history of the item.
Question: If that lead base glaze is also used in the container interior, shouldn't you NOT put citrus drinks in it? The lead will leech out into the juice.
Yes, you are correct to be careful with lead. Remember we didn't always know the harmful impact of lead.
@@DrLoriV Re lead, you know about the nipples they made for infants bottles back in the day?
I like the pottery with acorn leaves.
I do too. I love the acorns and leaves. In spite of it's condition, it should be displayed where everyone can enjoy seeing it. It is so calming.
@@beverlydavid581 Do you like nature scenes?
@@DrLoriV Yes! Especially with birds.
@@beverlydavid581 Great!
I agree with that guy. I love thrifting and garage sales. If I like something or I think its a little unusual (like visually stimulating) and it's only $1-$3 typically I'll just buy it. I totally would have bought that Minton Pitcher for $4 without knowing anything about it because it looked neat.
Yes, I want to teach you to like valuable pieces that you can buy at bargain prices -- a win, win for you :)
I just recently found your site! Love it ! Are you going to continue to put out new ones? Hope so! :)
Welcome. Have you already watched the over 250 vids and counting on my channel? lol Yes. A new video every Sunday night. Plus others on my website at www.DrLoriV.com/videos
I’m going to subscribe to your channel - I can’t believe I’ve ever watched you before!
I found a beautiful little Egyptian Blue Raoul Lachenal Vase at my Goodwill. Paid $1.99 for it. One of my favorite thrift finds ever!
Hi Michele, you’ll have fun watching and learning. Bring a piece or two to one of my events to see if you found treasure.
Love this lady
Oh my gosh Just found your channel and I can say I LOVE YOUUUUU wow so amazing I wish I can take you thrifting with me all the time ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome. People do take me thrifting using FaceTime and Skype.
Amazing educational appraisals !
Glad you are enjoying the vids
Very good presentation! ‘Lots of all information. Thank you
Thanks for writing and watching
Hi Dr. Lori. Love your spirit. I have a set of 6 chinese bowls that are so pretty, had two appraisers on Just Answer tell me that were worth 20.00 each but people on a facebook antique site said $10.00 for all. Wish I could afford to send you pics.
These people are not experts. My fees are low to review photos compared to the money you can lose by not knowing the truth or relying on people who might have an agenda not in your favor. Do you know people often lie about value so they can try to get your item cheaply? Or, maybe they are just having fun with you. Many of my events offer a free appraisal paid for by the event's host. Or, submit photos to me and if the bowls are not worth my appraisal fee, I tell you at no charge. That way you have an idea if they are worth $20 each or $10 for all. Happy to help.
I would love for you to come to Mississippi. I just found you on RUclips and I have truly enjoyed watching you.
Welcome! Have you subscribed so you don't miss another video or story with extra tips and games? I'd love to return to Mississippi, need an expo, festival, etc. to have me back!!
Also where are your events
See my website's events schedule.
Ok Thanks
Dang I just love Dr Lori's passion. I'm the same way.
Thanks!
Such great knowledge!!! Love your videos!!
Thanks for watching
I need you to come to Cincinnati or Lexington, Ky, Dr. Lori!
I was just in nearby Dayton last weekend!
you are sooooo captivating Dr. Lori!! learning alot from you !!
Thanks Fay
Dr LoriV. Do you EVER come to Denver Colorado area??? I cannot find it o your events schedule at all!! Please come out here!!! I have LOTS to have appraise!!
Yes, been to Denver many times. A group, fair, festival, bank, home & garden show has to invite me. That’s how my events get scheduled. Tell someone, I love the people in Denver :)
@@DrLoriV so how do they contact you to schedule an event?
@@n.michaels1565 They can contact my office using the contact form on my website at www.DrLoriV.com/contact
Cool video, my grandmother bought lots of antique dishes around 50 years ago while they were for around 50 years before that time. In other words, I have a lot of antique dishes for around 100 years ago, which based on your videos I guess they might be super expensive. Just one question, is packing them in the newspaper destroys them? Because we do not have space to have all in the vitrine of our house, so many are packed in the boxes with newspapers encompassing them. Thanks and sorry for my weak english.
Newspaper is not good. Read my article about storage tips at www.drloriv.com/Blog/ID/4744/3-Storage-Tips-for-Antiques
Thanks
I think I have to start thrift shopping again! Instead of just online shopping.
O hope you make it to California i would be so honored to meet you!!
LV Michele Conley From the exact center of California North Fork Ca 🖐👍✌🙂
Love to meet you too. I get to California. Tell a local fair, festival or show to invite me. That is how my events get scheduled
Help! I purchased a small yellow Bennington Potters Nantucket Basket by George David. No idea how to value it.
Send me Photos. Use the form on my website.
I started a new hobby, mudlarking. Im finding some really cool stuff. I was going to ask about 40s 50s depression era glass but in your video you just answered. Im finding a lot of pints 1/2 pints of flasks with embossed ferderal law forbids... is this anything? Thanks
Sounds like fun! I have a few videos on depression glass and a new one coming up. I have to see your pints and flasks to verify what you really have. Can you send pictures?
Im in an old town dump thinking 40s because lots of duraglas in with everything else. When i get a chance i send pics. Thanks Dr Lori
I checked your excellent webpage, im not really looking for appraisals. Right now im into the hunt and history of these depression era relics. I saw youre doing more videos on this topic. Well, one question though. Does hsving the original lid make the bottle better?
@@christopherj5780 What you are looking for is an expert identification. That is an appraisal :) Happy to help. If you have a lot of pieces and a lot of questions, I suggest my Priority subscription where I answer specific questions from photos. I need to see photos to verify what you really have.
Im misunderstood. Sorry. I have about 600 to clean. So gonna take a couple days. Im new to the hobby of mudlarking. Im sure i didnt find any holy grails but super cool bottles. Love the ambers and greens. But thank you for your kindness i will get with you. You said you have 20 years experience and phd history so very cool. I dont know if it matters but at 50 i am making a new leaf on life.
Love Lori ..
Great video
Thanks
Everyone loves a MINTON!!💋💋
lol, I get it :)
We also love all your insights, and your amazing sense of humor!! Hoping to get some appraisals done soon. 💋
@@MelissaMinton1 Thanks for watching. I know all of your Mintons are priceless!
@@DrLoriV Would it surprise you to learn, I don't own a single piece.
Dr. Lori please help! Do you know anything about the Mottahedeh Majolica Cabbage Ware Tureen with Bunny Finial? I got one from a Thrift Shop and very curious on price and age!
I can help Jennifer, but need to see it. Can you bring it to an event? Or, send me photos?

Dr. Lori, how much might the cost of Sung Dynasty stonewares?
I can help, but I need to see your piece to correctly identify what you really have.
@@DrLoriV I'm from the Philippines my father found this stonewares from a very deep hauling site near our place. I've researched about ancient Chinese that have been in our place, then I found out that they came here for barter with other Asian countries back then 12th century and on that time it's Sung Dynasty. I want to show them to you but I'm really far. How about I'll just show you pictures of them and also I'll take pictures close to the designs of these wares?
Is Irish Belleek valuable?
Sure. How much? I can help, but need to see your piece.
Thank you @@DrLoriV I was asking in general. I have probably close to 50 pieces, many black mark.
I understand, but I don't do general. I provide accurate information. Many factors affect value, plus there are fakes out there too. I can help, just need to see your pieces. I visit homes, do events in cities everywhere, review photos on my website and even do FaceTime and Skype chats.
Hey dr Lori do you value old/rare books?
Yes, I identify and value old books. See the ways I can help on my website.
Awesome
You the lady love you !!
Thanks Ricki
I just discovered you yesterday and have already binge watched most of the clips here on RUclips. I looked up your website and saw that I will be out of town when you are here in Houston for February. I am wrecked! Argh!! Ah well, I’ll just have to wait until next time. (Or I can submit via your website at drloriv.com!) BTW, you are amazing, thank you for what you do! Funny and forthright and intelligent! Bravo!
Welcome Sarah and thanks for your feedback. I was just in Houston last month too! Sorry, we'll miss you. Some of this video was actually shot in Houston. Yes, I do look at photos of items on my website and do video calls too. All options are outlined in detail on my website.
Large, lidded Bitossi cookie jar in glazed ceramic is worth any thing
Many factors affect value. I can appraise your cookie jar. Need to see it. Send me photos at www.drloriv.com/find-values/online/online-appraisal-form/ or schedule a video call at www.drloriv.com/find-values/from-your-video-call/. See how on my website.

Hello Dr., I have this four piece white ceramic sugar bowl, creamer, and two tiny little salt n pepper shakers and they are marked as "imported from Japan for Dorothy C. Thorpe California" or something to that effect. Lol it's not in front of me at the moment. Someone said to me it was worth a fortune because it was imported for her, but are basically blanks as they are just pure white ceramic, but my goodness they are pretty. Is this person correct ? I'm new at this and pretty green as I contracted Lyme and had to close shop on my landscape business, so I'm trying to figure my life out now and see if this is for me. Thank you !!! O and I can not find anything close to what I have of hers on eBay, Amazon, Etsy, etc. Mostly metal brimmed glass.
I can help but need to see what you have in order to verify it. “something to the effect” is not accurate information. Can you bring it to one of my events? Can you send me photos on my website?
@@DrLoriV ... Where are your events at ? I'd love to see one !!! But yeah I can send pics too. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. It's appreciated ! What is your website ?
New event locations are added all the time on my website. I also look at photos if you use the form on my website
What does it mean when you see AC: 219 written on the bottom of a antique vase??
Depends on the piece, maker, etc. I can help if you need it. You can also read and watch my tips on pottery marks on my website.
Just discovered you!!! Omg....
Welcome, hope to see you at an event too!
I'd love to meet you I have alot of old glass & things
Come to one of my events at www.DrLoriV.com/events
Hey Dr Lori just discovered your channel & I am a fan
Hi Mechele, Welcome to the channel! Thanks.
Wow I have seen Minton pottery in Canada a couple years ago and never knew that it was that valuable. .in Canada there are a lot of yard sales and thrift store that sell things next to nothing.
I mean come on up to Toronto to Vancouver and you'll see what I mean. And in Vancouver and this time of the year there's hardly any snow in fact today we don't have any snow. But people are having outdoor markets
And I just bought a antique doll which I'm going to get you to appraise doctor Lori and I only paid one Buck for it at a thrift store. These people didn't know that it was a valuable doll. I recognized it and I said to myself hey that's cheaper than I cup of coffee from Starbucks lol. I think you would have I hay day up in Canada.
And especially in Vancouver B.C. that's a lot of Asian art and pottery. And if you go further north to the smaller towns you'll find a lot of Old Clay antique vases.
But Victoria B.C.which is the capital city of Canada is were you will find a lot of British people and talk about Antiques and especially Qualicum Beach. Vancouver Island is full of how many antiques. So step over the Border young lady : )
There are good finds in Canada, US, Europe. I posted one thrift store find in Scotland on FB. I get all over. Groups have to book me in your town. Tell them!
@@DrLoriV
How do you do that when your just a citizen of the town?? Where would a person go to do this? City hall? Sorry I'm ignorant
Many people tell their local fair, festival, home & garden show, bank, museum, financial advisor, etc. to host one of my events.
@@DrLoriV
great thank you. I love you to come to my area . however you must need proper notice.
@@DrLoriV
OK I'm going to look into that.We have a few nice air B and B here in VANCOUVER area. Thank you
Girlfriend... You remind me of my most famous ACTRESS..MELLISA McCarthy ! I really hope I got her name correct. KEEP the knowledge coming. Thank you
Thanks for the comment. She is funny
I love her!
I love Dr. Lori. How do we submit a photo, and is there a fee? Thank you!!
Love you too Bridget. I review photos submitted on the form on my website. Yes, there is a fee, I provide a written report. Check out the details using that link. Thanks
I found a painting from vanguard studios but can't tell the artist signature
Experts don't rely on signatures. Have you read my article about valuable paintings that aren't signed? I can value it if you want using my Ph.D. in art history.
@@DrLoriV no I hadn't read it. It has a signature I just can't tell what it says. How do I let you value it
Ok, I can suggest three ways ... you can bring it to one of my events, new ones always added on my website, you can tell me about the piece by answering questions on a form on my website, or show it to me during a short video call picking a time in my calendar on my website.
I have a very vintage ceramic eggs I for quite some time and excellent condition I've been looking for appraisal on them everywhere I go they want to talk to me to give me an appraisal value on them
I can value your ceramic eggs. Need to see them. See how you can show them to me on my website. Send me photos at www.drloriv.com/find-values/online/online-appraisal-form/ or schedule a video call at www.drloriv.com/find-values/from-your-video-call/.
Which video was the painting of the lil girl with the doll? Please.. you are probably like, " not this girl again" hehe.
Have you searched my channel using the search feature?
@@DrLoriV I will now..
good
Don’t mind me. Just studying your channel like a college class.
No tests in this class :)
Shhhh... Don't tell the thrift stores.
That's how I make my living..!
lol. No worries, I see thrift store people miss a lot of stuff.
😂😂😂😂😂
Too late the word is out many of the thrift store are now selling their items online.
When we find good values antiques items, were do we sell them for the value price,
Good question. My values are based on seeing a similar piece actually sell at that value. My online appraisal reports include a location where pieces have sold. Many people use my reports as a start.
You crack me up gurrrl! Ha haa!
❤️❤️❤️
I said lemonade 🤗
👍👍👍
You make PENN STATE proud
We are...

Lori why do you wear gloves?
Hi Nanci, good question. Watch me explain in a video on my website at www.drloriv.com/Videos/ID/4659/Why-Dr-Lori-wears-Gloves
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hi Dr. Lori! Can real Majolica be made in China? Or are only the reproductions made in China? Thank you!
Good question! I'm going to add this to my "bowl" of questions for a future Ask Dr. Lori video! Stay tuned for the answer :)
