Rainyday Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hi all, I am new here as you can see. Part time I buy and sell vintage and antique collectables. I was out treasure hunting today and came across this ceramic shoe, I thought it was cool so I picked it up. Ceramics are a little outside my realm so I have two questions, First it is unmarked so I was wondering if anyone recognizes the maker and Two what would be a fare price to resell it at? The shoe measues about 10inches long x about 4inches tall. Thanks in advance, and sorry of this is the wrong section of the forum to post this question.

Mark C. Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 To me it looks like a school project-I have seen many ceramic shoes come out of schools as art programs have shifted to ceramic art vs functional wares. This is an item I feel that appeals only to the right person and for value its in the eye of the beholder. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJR Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Rainyday; No offense, but there is no value here. Marc is being kind. This was an amateur art project. Glaze has run-applied too thick, or piece was overfired. Sorry about that. TJR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel_Rocker Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I like it, bowling shoe details, the dripping looks like oil which could be a statement about how many products these days are made from petroleum and the ugly goopy mess that really is. Guess art is in the eye of the beholder. Honestly I think most of Warhol's stuff is pretty crappy, but what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Oddly, I like it too ... Maybe use it as a doorstop ... Would not pay more than $5 for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffCenter Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Rainyday, It's not over-fired and the glaze runs look good. I'm not crazy about it but like it. I don't know what it is worth but it is certainly worth more than most functional crap produced by production potters. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
