If you ever wanted to add a antique butter dish to your table then act now! not only is the price for them on the rise but they are also becoming a lot more popular. According to a article from Deseret news there was recently a antique butter dish that was valued at over $200!

The result of owning one of this can not only be a fantastic asset to your table but also a great investment, much like purchasing a crystal vase. If you are wanting to purchase your own antique butter dish then I would highly recommend not only hitting up ebay but also checking out a few other places locally such as thrift stores and garage sales. The possibility of finding a beautiful old antique dish is worth getting out and looking around for a great deal on one.

Having a beautiful dish can not only be a great asset to your dining room but with the way the value of these antiques are taking off this can also be a great item to hand down to children and grand children. If you are searching for them online take a close look at craigslist for garage sales and estate sales, you could even email them regarding what items they have on hand as they may even be willing to sell it antique dish straight to you. This could be a fantastic deal and would make it a lot easier than trying to hunt down every garage sale in the area. Be warned however to never send western union or any other for of payment to a seller on craigslist. Meet them in person so that you can see the item in person before the purchase. This will allow you to check the validity of their claim on a high dollar item.

If you believe that you have a antique butter dish and would like to get appraised then try to contact a antique dealer locally so that you can try to gather as much information on it as you can. Also, get more than one bid or quote on the item as you do not want to get low-balled into selling a item that might be worth significantly more. If you are interested in selling it and after getting it appraised then check with the dealer to see if they would be willing to let you place the item on consignment so that you can get the best price.
