Q: I have been given a very tall coffee pot about 14 inches high, made by Portmeirion. It is dark brown with a gold pattern and is in nice condition. I know it's not that old, but is it worth anything?
A: This appears to be from the Phoenix range issued by Portmeirion in the 1960s. Such pieces are becoming increasingly collectable, though values are still quite affordable at the moment. This coffee pot is worth about £30 or so, but is just the sort of thing that is likely to continue to increase in price over the next few years as more and more people start collecting 1960s "pop art".
