The Masterworks
The cornerstone of this auction features museum-quality studio pottery, most notably significant forms by Toshiko Takaezu and Claude Conover. These are not merely decorative items; they are foundational works of mid-century ceramic art, possessing a tactile presence and sculptural gravity that anchor any serious collection.

Beyond the kiln, the auction spans a breathtaking range of Antiquities, Specimens, and Fine Art. From the intricate geometry of traditional world textiles to rare artifacts and original mid-century studies, the breadth of the inventory is matched only by its quality. Each lot has been selected with a keen eye for provenance, craftsmanship, and historical significance.

We invite collectors, designers, and connoisseurs to explore these offerings deeply. This is a rare moment where high-end modernist masterworks meet the storied charm of global curiosities. For those who prioritize authenticity and an elevated aesthetic, this is a milestone event not to be overlooked.
