Hi Amy, due to many factors we just do not appraise pieces on this web site. The pattern, condition, color intensity, discoloration, crazing, correct lid and such make it impossible to set a value. Ebay or an auction is the only true way to determine a price. We have several evens at our national convention that also determine fair market prices. We have a very large auction and table sales with nothing but flow blue, mulberry and polychrome pieces. The economy also plays a large role in determining the value. Good, rare pieces always bring good money. Restored/repaired pieces bring less money than "mint" pieces. The demand for a piece also plays a very large role in determining value. As a general rule, teapots are a rarer piece and command one of the higher prices for any given pattern. Joining our club is an excellent way of buying and selling pieces as there is a bi-monthly newsletter available for advertising as well as the convention. There are also (most likely), members who collect the Haddon pattern and may wish to purchase your teapot? Yearly membership is only $39.00 and the educational material and contacts are well worth that. Our conventions are very entertaining, educational and fun. Take care, Jerry
