Fire-King jadeite Jane Ray 9 inch dinner plate
Jadeite uranium-tinted milk glass is a strong seller, and Jane Ray dinner plates are among the more findable pieces. Chips and cloudiness kill the value; crisp, even colour with a clean rim brings the most.
Estimated resale range (used)
$10 – $25
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.
What matters when you check it
- Run a finger around the rim and foot to feel for chips, fleabites and hairline cracks
- Check that the green colour is even and not faded or blotchy from dishwasher use
- Look for the Fire-King or Anchor Hocking mark on the back to confirm the maker
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
