Treasure huntingby Carol Blitzer

P atricia Knight rubbed her fingers over the raised glass grasshoppers on the fan-

shaped vase, then quickly turned it over to check for a signature.

No R. Lalique. “Lalique always signed (his

pieces),” she said. But she acknowl-edged that many glass pieces are not marked. Often she relies on the ap-pearance of the piece, drawing on her extensive knowledge to assess when it was made and by whom.

Knight will be among a cast of experts who will be offering advice about everything from glass and ce-ramics to fine-art prints and furni-ture at the Antiques Appraisal Day on May 19, a benefit for the Palo Alto Women’s Club House Preser-vation Fund.

For $45, one can bring up to three items for appraisal (just photos with dimensions for furniture), enjoy mi-mosas and hors d’oeuvres and help raise money to preserve the Wom-en’s Club, which was built in 1916.

No weapons, stamps, coins or large rugs will be considered.

Had that Lalique-like vase been signed by Rene himself, it would be worth about $3,000, Knight said. Even without the name, the early 1930s likely Czech-made piece would be worth between $400 and $600 — were it not for a small chip at the base. That brings it down to about $250.

Originally from England, Knight studied European and English his-tory in college, then was a buyer for Selfridges before coming to the United States in 1960 with her hus-band, Colin, and raising two chil-dren.

“My mother was always inter-ested in antiques,” she said, recall-ing “mooching around looking for treasures” in junk shops. Early on Knight became a collector, keeping her eye out for English ceramics, mainly 18th- and early 19th-century porcelain and pottery, and Stratford-shire figurines.

“I love antiques that make you laugh,” she said.

On the East Coast she and her family would go to small towns outside Boston and visit tiny mu-seums. By 1984, she and her hus-band were empty-nested and living in California, where she started an antiques cooperative in Woodside. That cooperative evolved to Patri-cian Antiques, which she ran in Los Altos until 2005. Today she still

Look out ‘Antiques Road Show’: Antiques Appraisal Day is coming

Patricia Knight, an expert in 18th- and 19th-century silver, examines the 1820 Irish teapot, looking for clues to its origin. Knight will be among the expert appraisers participating in the Antiques Appraisal Day on May 19.

buys (at estate sales and auctions) and sells, mainly through her Internet site (www.patri-cianantiques.com), where customers contact her from all over the United States as well as Japan and Europe.

The secret to doing appraisals is research, and having a big library, she said. Those spon-taneous-seeming appraisals on Antiques Road Show are staged, she said, because there usu-ally is a time gap between the first look and the appraisal. People cannot expect a full, professional appraisal in a few minutes, she added.

Tipping over her 1820 Irish silver teapot, she points to the clues that help her identify a piece: a hallmark on the base, a lion (code for sterling silver), the town assayed in (Dublin), the royal head (which sovereign was ruling), a letter of the alphabet indicating the year and the maker’s initials.

“It varies from country to country,” she said.

Silver is a good investment, she says, not-ing that it goes up about 12 percent a year. But she cautions collectors that they could get burned.

“Antiques do go up in value when a pool of people wanting them is greater than the num-ber of objects,” she said.

Certain designers are hot — Tiffany or Gor-ham — so the items are more pricey.

But the “real hot field right how is mid-cen-tury modern — 1960s and 1970s — glass and ceramics,” she said, noting that Art Deco is being ignored.

“Things go in and out of fashion,” she not-ed.

She’s fond of using what she collects, such

as the silver teapot, which is practical and keeps the tea warm. “There’s no reason why you can’t use ceramic items for other uses: A letter rack can hold napkins, a bread tray can hold guest towels,” she said.

“I personally collect items that I know the history of,” she said. “To hold something in your hand that’s 200 years old and someone made by hand. ... Ceramics don’t fade. They are always exactly the same color as when they came out of the kiln.”

Other people collect because of nostalgia — toys they never had, items seen in their grandparents’ home, for example.

“Once you’ve got three pieces, you’ve got a collection,” she added.

Still others have a theme, such as dogs. “Collections should show your own charac-ter,” she said, noting that there are 300 years of dog paintings.

For those on a shoestring budget, there’s still fun to be had collecting things such as postcards printed between 1900 and 1940, which are popular.

“When people talk about collecting, they get so alert and lively,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to seeing what people will bring in. There could be some real finds.” ■Assistant Editor Carol Blitzer can be e-mailed at [email protected].
