Watch Ph.D. Antiques Appraiser Dr. Lori show you how to find thrift shop #bargains and resell a cup, saucer and bowl for double today's value. Don't miss other tips to spotting cut crystal #glass, Bakelite and costume jewelry, dolls and what #travel souvenirs you can leave at the thrift store or Goodwill. Dr. Lori uses a glass wine decanter and a vintage glass pitcher as examples when talking about glassware. Learn #howto identify marks on a maquette sculpture made by Glenna Goodacre for her Irish Memorial Monument on display in Philadelphia, PA. Does it have patina? You'll be surprised what doesn't have patina!
Dr Lori provides details about different types of costume jewelry necklaces, earrings, bracelets and pins including ones made with white jade and Bakelite. She also talks about a Holly Hobbie ceramic cup and shows you how to not get fooled by Asian made ceramics that are simply junk trying to fool you. Plus, see the collectible souvenirs like salt and pepper shakers that you should leave at the #Goodwill thrift store.
Ask Dr. Lori to value your thrift store bargains including glass, cups, ceramics, costume jewelry and dolls. Attend her antiques appraisal events near you or submit photos on Dr. Lori's website.

I went to Dr. Lori’s antiques appraisal event in my area. I like treasure hunting and when I go to antique stores/malls , thrift stores, flea markets, or auction houses , I always take a loupe, a flashlight, a tape measure and a diamond detector. A flashlight is extremely important! It helps you see hairlines /cracks in porcelain. I did find some nice diamond jewelry from thrift stores and flea markets!

I just got a set of flatware from the 1950's with pink pearly looking handles that I think are bakelite. I actually bought it after seeing one of your videos where you said not to clean silver plated items too frequently, I was using my great grandmothers good silverware in my kitchen daily, until I learned I was probably damaging it.

My mother’s (1915) Aunt (1900ish) had those green colonial dishes. My mother loved them and was given a small set in the 1950s and continued collecting pieces through the 70s. I assume her aunt’s were from the 20s from your time table. My daughter always loved them and I gave her my mother’s pieces, her aunt’s pieces (her grand daughters didn’t want them until After my mother bought them from her estate sale!) and a few others like a 3 tiered dish that I found in second hand stores. My daughter says that people always comment on how pretty they are in her 1976 style colonial house.
