Contemporary Ceramics
Coram James values modern and contemporary studio ceramics for insurance, probate, divorce and sale, from single pots to important collections and artists’ estates.
Our team includes a leading specialist in studio ceramics who works with museums, potters and estates. Each piece is examined in person and assessed against current auction and gallery prices.
What We Value
- Lucie Rie and Hans Coper
- Bernard Leach, Shoji Hamada and the Leach Pottery
- Michael Cardew and William Staite Murray
- Magdalene Odundo, Jennifer Lee and Gwyn Hanssen Pigott
- Edmund de Waal and Julian Stair
- Grayson Perry
- Japanese and international contemporary ceramics
- Collections and artists’ estates
Prices for leading potters have risen strongly, and insurance values set only a few years ago are often out of date. Attribution, seals and marks, condition and provenance all affect value.
To discuss a piece or collection, please contact Robert Coram James on 020 7305 7360 or at info@coramjames.com.
