I am looking for old/unusual teapots with roses on them.Where can I look besides e-bay and RubyLane?

I have recently started a colletion of old tea/coffee pots decorated with roses. I am constantly looking on EBAY, Yahoo, and Ruby Lane. My main objective is not how old they are but how unique and different they are. And of course money has to be considered...I am at the mid to lower end of the scale and can work better with someone that has a layaway plan.





Thanks for any suggestions,


Pat

Reply:If are you looking to add to a particular collection, there are replacement companies used by insurance carriers for property loses. You may want to search under insurance replacement services, or contact your local insurance agent and ask if they can find out from a property adjuster exactly what particular service they would recommend should you have a loss to one of your collectible editions. If the sets are valuable, you may also consider asking if you should insure them, either as a rider on your policy, or take photos or videotape them, and keep them in a secure place should a loss occur. Find out how they would be covered, if they appreciate in value, and if a loss should occur.





You may also check estate sales or auctions....Good luck! Oh, and one more thing; if it is a known collectible, there may be clubs on it, look on about.com.
