Hi Maria,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Max Moeller is known for his designs within the Wm Goebel potteries' figurative and ceramic collections. While Moeller's exact contributions to Goebel's product line remain less documented, items like salt and pepper shakers featuring his designs, such as the "Santa Maria" ship-themed ceramics, highlight his artistic involvement with the brand during its mid-century heyday. It is worth noting there appears to be nothing more than a professional relationship between Max Moeller and Arthur Moeller, who is considered one of Goebel's most prominent sculptors and master designers.

The entire six-piece centerpiece would be worth $300-600 at auction but having just one of the pieces brings its value down to $50-100.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
