I am aware that once a piece of crystal or porcelain eg Lladro is chipped, it loses it's value drastically.

I have a large and heavy Swarovski crystal bowl, weighing 1.8kgs, with a tiny chip on the corner. It's not noticeable.

My question is, is it still worth selling?

Yes, as long as you fully describe the chip and show clear photos of it. If it truly is barely noticeable, someone will still be glad to get the bowl at suitably reduced price. If the buyer cares to have it done later, the chip can be smoothed / polished away, too.

Yes!

If it displays well and carries a name like Swarovski, it will sell, there's lots of people out there that can't afford a great piece so will go for an item like this 🙂

Happy selling 🙂

Thanks for your replies. It's a pretty piece and the biggest Swarovski crystal I've ever owned. Good to know there's hope.

Here's the crystal bowl. Saw a few listed on ebay and gave me an idea on base price considering the tiny chip. Only problem would be the cost of shipping which won't be cheap.

Very pretty. I looked it up and found it's been retired for over a decade and was (of course) pricey to begin with, so you should do fine with it, small chip and all. Good luck!
