I'm trying to start an ebay business, so every bit of information I can get is priceless! Especially about jewelry.Thank you so much, Dr. Lori for everything; I believe you are priceless!

Thank you Dr. Lori for sharing your knowledge with all us. I appreciate You and your staff so very much!

Your telling real pearls from fake is going to save lots of people from getting sick, "look don't put them on your teeth!" While this live is great, I prefer when you pull questions out of a bowl, because you really answer the questions in depth. Both are very helpful, just prefer your in depth answers more....you have sooooooo much knowledge!!!!!

Thank you so much! Sharing and commenting for the algorithm so more people can enjoy you and learn from you.❤️

I am really happy that you offer us all the information. Thank you 🙏

Thrift stores miss things all of the time, not as much as they used to but they still miss things. Recently found a beautiful Capodimonte piece for $3.50 while researching this one I found another one that I have had for a while. A sterling silver serving piece $9.99, sterling silver creamer sugar set 98 cents (was half price day), antique 14kt gold glasses with the case $4.99 amongst other things.

RU-vid referred you, so very glad. You are amazing, and we think you are beautiful!!!!

Enjoyed your live stream today as ALWAYS! Especially about 100 yr.old pottery crazing cracks and even pin holes that devalue a piece.I Absolutely love you and your Brilliance! Thank u for all your hard work 💝

Thank you Dr Lori! I have been watching you since I retired 5 years ago. You are very enjoyable and helpful to watch. I have never tried to sell anything but definitely have purchased many items to sell. I am from PA and would love to come to your show when you have the next one. I could use information on how to take the first step to sell on line. I love your show. 🐯

I always look forward to your shows now! I share on Twitter & will have to support more when the $ comes rolling in. Thanks for all you do 💖✈️💃🏻

No no no, you don't need a brush, you look lovely!

I like wearing my antique from the late 1800’s Native American ring that was an estate sale find back in February. But now at work I get women customers coming into the station just to see my Native American jewelry I wear to work and they are asking where I find it at .

Thank you, you look fabulous. Your hair and nails look very chic

i cant stop watching

Good evening Dr. Lori. Hope you and your staff are well? Studying up a storm here in the desert southwest. 108° here day before yesterday and a balmy 103° today. Ugh 🥵🥵🥵 Great excuse though to stay inside and catch up on your vids! Many Blessings, K.T. P.S. I share the heck out of your show. 😘

Hello, I am new here and so happy I found you. I have been a thrifter for years and have an "eye" for older things. I hope to learn so much from you. Thank you

I love to watch your videos, I collect coins & costume jewelry, Lots of glassware.

Love your hair!

God Bless you

Dr. Lori, you look beautiful!

I'm a new subscriber. Love your videos!

Nice finding you Dr.Lori! My neighbor's grandma passed away a few months ago and they are still getting rid of her belongings by giving them away to friends and families. She gave me a marble table, that was the main item I was supposed to go get, but once there she told me to take some paintings and whatever I wanted. I took the paintings, and while I was going back and fourth she kept offering an artifact that is so ugly that I said no more than once. Once I finished loading my stuff in the car, we went back to the apartment to ensure everything was turned off and again, she grabbed that artifact and asked me if I could take it, that if I didn't take it, it would probably end up in the trash because no body wanted it for ugly. So I felt kinda of bad and decided to take it with me having no idea what I was going to do with it. Once I brought it to my house I just left on top of the guest room bed. After googling information about the painting while watching unrelated RU-vid videos, one of your videos came up as suggestion. Days went by when I finally decided to Google to find out what that artifact was. I learned that it's a pre-columbian stirrup vessel. I was so exited thinking that I could have a valuable piece of ancient art. Then this video came up, and in minute 47:00 all my exitment went away lol.

SHAWNEE, McCOY, AMERICAN BISQUE Cookie Jars - 30s, 40s, 50s would be a great class! ~ Amy 😍 PS I have a collection of 55 jars by these makers...

Thank you for answering my questions. I intend to sign up for a class. I'm definitely interested in glass and 'ceramics'(?). ..as an aside fascinated by ochre... pigmints, mining, minerals glaze, structures.. dabbling in research... but I find myself drawn to glass. Thank you again, looking forward.

Hello Good morning Lori,

I used to receive the newsletter but haven't in a very long time. Is everyone else still receiving it? Maybe my name fell off of the list? I just signed up again, but I still wonder if everyone else who was receiving the newsletter is still receiving it, or has there just not been a newsletter sent out for a good while. Thanks for letting me know.

Somehow it's all sinking in!

Thank you Dr Lori Your information is always very helpful and valuable. What does a Y on yellow gold clip on earrings mean? I don't know if they're real or not but do look like very nice quality.

Hi Dr Lori, I’m a new young *light* collector and hope to become a reseller of lamps and lights would you do a video on your knowledge of all kinds of collectible lights and lamps and what to look for ?

Just found you, I am in cornwall ontario canada

Since I found those 2 Cenedese Bud Vases (Murano) at the Salvation Army, I thought never in a million dollars will I find Murano at such a great price. Well I went to an Antique Mall looking for a Rushton Santa, and what I found was Ferro piece. 2 opalscent (pink/blue) birds with gold dust tails, perching on a silver flake clear glass branch with a rose/candle holder and leaves for only $12.50. Beautiful! My question is were can I go and find the worth?

Dr. Lori when are you coming to Los Angeles? Please advise. Esther Medici

Hello Dr. Lori!! 👋 since you are a Wolverine could you do a question of the day on Buckeyes or Wolverines? Who do yiu like better. I think that would be fun. Thank you and have a fabulous day !!! 😘

Dr. Lori, when did sugar bowls and creamers come into use?

What about whiskey decanters in milk glass. Do they also sale? They sure are beautiful.

My friend has a real Staffordshire dog. Big head. No maker's marks I could find though

I have 8 milk glass steins

Dr. Lori thanks! Can I negotiate at antique malls?

Hi Dr. Lori, what’s the best way to have my jewelry appraised?

Share by wearing tees and sweatshirt

Is vintage silver plate flatware a good bet

Thomas Jefferson is my ggggg- uncle. His wife was my aunt through her closest sister, my ggggg-grandmother.

Hi Dr Lori can you tell Us about a clasp that says Korea on it, other than the obvious. Please and thank you!!!

I have an individual tea/coffee with a navy anchor and U S N printed on it. Are they stll collectable? They are certainly more rare.

Is milk glass supposed to have that fiery sheen to it when you look through it. Some pieces seem like it's just white painted glass??

Hi Dr. Lori--my thrift has lots of Lenox creamware pieces (everything from vases to bowl to candle holders) at very inexpensive prices, even the older green label ones. Is Lenox ever worth picking up?

Did Swarovski ever do a Christmas tree brooch without signing?

Dr Lori I have many things I know would sell but I just don’t know how to start.

Is all white glass considered milk glass?

How can I tell if a piece of cut glass is American brilliant cut glass

Are pieces marked "Occupied Japan" still highly collectable and valuable?

Are Quoizel Early American (Abigail Adams style) chandeliers still valuable? I have a 5-light chandelier but one of the glass shades broke. 6 chimneys intact. The frame/carriage/chain/wire is still in perfect condition. Is it saleable as is? Purchased around 1974 for approx $300.

HI DR.Lori, I have a large framed print of When Christmas comes around by Jessie Wilcox Smith dated 1909 I was wondering if it worth anything, it was give to me by my Sister that has passed away.

When are you coming to Boise, Idaho??

Hi Dr. Lori, I purchased a bracelet that appears silver and its jewelry mark has the Mexican eagle. Unfortunately, when I wear it my wrist gets dark green color stains. It has no 925 mark. Its mark is written in a circle format. Finally, the word 'Taxco' is marked very predominantly in the piece's clasp enclosure. My obvious question: Is it really silver? Please let me know your opinion on this. TY-Karen

Hi Dr.Lori Would you please tell me if sodalite is valuable. I have this Gorgeous Necklace made 941 silver ,beaded peacock pearls and a Sodalite round medallion. It’s about 9”long. Thank you in advance ☺️.

Hello, you say that a sugar bowl must have 2 handles. Lately I have run into 2 different "sugar" bowls that only had one handle and there was NOT a place for a second handle (it was not broken off). The 1st one I found, I was told was a Russian Sugar bowl, it had the bowl that looked more like a tea cup and it had a lid. They wanted $10 for it and I felt it cost too much so I didn't buy it. When I went back 2 days later, it was gone. Do Russian Sugar Bowls, from very old tea sets, have only one handle? Or if It wasn't a sugar bowl, what was it?

GREAT show, as always. Just one thing I wanted to say...You look like a MILLION BUCKS! Ciao Bella!

Love your manicure and the pinky ring you look ravishing

Hi Dr.lori! I've read conflicting info about firing crack on top of cameo Walter Stephen 1932 Pisgah forest pottery vase Does it devalue or increase value?

I have a brass bowl that my mother says is about 90 years old. How do you determine the value? It says made in China and has Chinese characters on the bottom.

Is there a test for real ivory?

Libraries are wonderful. 😺 Would you be a able to appraise old books as well?

Since you're speaking of glass here, Dr.... why isn't Depression era glass worth much right now? It seemed to be worth more a handful of years ago. Even the uranium glass and the bigger named makers are just not going for much.

Yr still beautiful❤

I have a yellow gold colour and is marked JAPAN nothing else, would this be real gold or plated ? I've tried researching this but no joy.

Semiquincentennial!
