What Makes De Lamerie Valuable?
There are several factors to consider when assessing De Lamerie.
1. The Type of Item
Different types of De Lamerie can have different levels of collector demand.
Examples include:
- Champagne flutes
- Wine glasses
- Water goblets
- Cups and saucers
- Coffee sets
- Dinner plates
- Salad plates
- Serving dishes
- Cake stands
- Vases
- Decorative ceramics
- Complete or partial services
The size and rarity of a particular group can also affect its desirability.
2. Gilding and Decoration
One of the most distinctive characteristics of De Lamerie is its elaborate decoration.
Pieces can feature:
- Heavy gilt decoration
- Gilt rims
- Burgundy grounds
- Cobalt blue grounds
- White grounds
- Multi-coloured designs
- Elaborate borders
- Decorative motifs
The quality, condition and extent of the decoration can all contribute to a piece’s appeal.
3. Completeness
If you have a De Lamerie service or collection, do not automatically split it into individual pieces before getting a valuation.
A collection containing matching cups, saucers, plates or glasses may have greater appeal when presented together.
However, this is not always the case. In some circumstances, individual pieces or smaller groups may be more attractive to collectors.
A specialist auctioneer can advise on the best way to present the collection.
4. Original Boxes
Original boxes can be important, particularly for De Lamerie glassware.
Potteries Auctions has handled boxed collections of De Lamerie champagne flutes and water goblets.
Original packaging can help demonstrate completeness and provenance and may make a set more attractive to collectors.
5. Condition
Condition is particularly important for decorated ceramics and glassware.
Look for:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Repairs
- Restoration
- Scratches
- Loss of gilding
- Fading
- Damage to glass
- Missing pieces
- Damaged boxes
Small condition issues can affect the value of a set, particularly where matching pieces are involved.

De Lamerie Fine Bone China
De Lamerie produced fine bone china featuring elaborate decorative schemes and extensive gilding.
Potteries Auctions has handled De Lamerie fine bone china including:
- Salad plates
- Cake stands
- Cups
- Saucers
- Dinnerware
- Decorative pieces
Recent lots included a three-tier De Lamerie fine bone china cake stand with a heavily gilt bow pattern on a blue ground, as well as groups of heavily gilt salad plates in different colourways.
When valuing De Lamerie bone china, the exact pattern, colourway, number of pieces and condition should all be considered.
De Lamerie Glassware
De Lamerie glassware is another important collecting area.
Examples can include:
- Champagne flutes
- Wine glasses
- Water goblets
- Tumblers
- Cups and saucers
- Decorative glassware
The glassware can be particularly distinctive because of its combination of glass, colour and heavy gilt decoration.
If you have a boxed collection of De Lamerie glasses, keep the original boxes with the pieces when requesting a valuation.
De Lamerie Champagne Flutes
De Lamerie champagne flutes can feature elaborate gilt decoration and are often found in boxed sets.
The value of a set can depend on:
- Number of glasses
- Matching condition
- Decoration
- Completeness
- Original boxes
- Condition of the gilding
- Rarity
- Current collector demand
If you have a set of De Lamerie champagne flutes, avoid separating the glasses before having them valued.
De Lamerie Water Goblets and Wine Glasses
De Lamerie also produced decorative water goblets and wine glasses.
As with champagne flutes, complete matching groups are generally easier to assess when all of the pieces and their original packaging are available.
If your glasses have boxes, retain them.

Get a valuationHow Do I Identify De Lamerie?
If you have inherited De Lamerie and aren’t sure exactly what you own, begin by examining the underside or base.
Look for:
- De Lamerie branding
- “Made in England”
- Pattern or design information
- Manufacturer’s marks
- Printed labels
- Signatures or other markings
- Original boxes and paperwork
Take clear photographs of both the item and any marks or labels.
If you have several pieces, photograph the complete collection together as well as individual items.
De Lamerie Marks and Backstamps
Marks can provide important information when identifying De Lamerie.
Some pieces may carry a manufacturer’s mark or printed wording, while others may have labels or information on their original packaging.
A mark can help establish the identity and provenance of a piece, but the mark alone does not determine its value.
The exact object, decoration, condition, rarity and collector demand must also be considered.
If you are unsure whether your ceramics or glassware are genuine De Lamerie, photographs of the marks can be particularly useful when requesting a valuation.
How Much Is My De Lamerie Worth?
If you are searching for a De Lamerie price guide, remember that online asking prices are not necessarily representative of what buyers will actually pay.
For a meaningful valuation, you need to identify the exact item and consider the current market.
A professional assessment can take into account:
- The exact De Lamerie design
- Number of pieces
- Type of item
- Condition
- Decoration
- Gilding
- Colourway
- Original packaging
- Completeness
- Provenance
- Previous auction results
- Current demand
This is particularly important for collections, where the overall combination of pieces can affect how the group should be sold.
Where Can I Sell De Lamerie?
If you have De Lamerie that you would like to sell, there are several options.
Sell De Lamerie Privately
You could sell individual pieces or sets through an online marketplace.
This gives you control over your asking price, but you will need to:
- Identify the items
- Photograph them
- Research prices
- Write listings
- Find buyers
- Handle enquiries
- Arrange secure packaging and delivery
For fragile glass and porcelain, packaging and postage can also create additional challenges.
Sell De Lamerie to a Dealer
A specialist dealer may offer to purchase your De Lamerie directly.
This can be convenient, but a dealer generally needs to purchase below the anticipated resale value to cover their costs and margin.
Sell De Lamerie at Auction
For collectible De Lamerie, auction provides access to multiple potential buyers.
Rather than agreeing a fixed price with one buyer, the final hammer price is determined by competitive bidding.
This can be particularly useful where:
- You have a large collection
- You have complete sets
- Your items are unusual
- You have rare colourways
- You have boxed glassware
- You have substantial quantities of matching pieces
- You are unsure what your collection is worth
Why Sell De Lamerie at Auction?
A specialist auction can put your De Lamerie in front of buyers who are actively looking for collectible ceramics and glassware.
At Potteries Auctions, we can assess your items and determine how they could best be presented to the market.
This might mean selling:
- Individual pieces
- Matching pairs
- Sets
- Groups
- Complete services
- Collections
The right approach depends on what you own.
Recent Potteries Auctions results demonstrate that De Lamerie groups have attracted buyers at auction, with several lots achieving between £180 and £260 hammer.
How to Sell a De Lamerie Collection
If you have inherited a large quantity of De Lamerie, you do not need to sort everything into individual lots yourself.
This is particularly important where you have:
- Large quantities of glasses
- Matching cups and saucers
- Multiple plates
- Several colourways
- Complete or partial services
- Original boxes
- Mixed ceramics and glassware
Send photographs of the collection and we can advise on the next step.
We can help determine whether the collection should be sold as individual lots, matching groups or larger selections.
