<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 1297650, member: 1262"]Was talking to the auctioneer's wife about this estate and she said the deceased was an avid art pottery dealer and had nearly every wall in their two houses packed with display cases, curio cabinets, and shelving to hold all of the pottery. Apparently some of the pieces have provenance to major pottery auction catalogs decades ago. There was another prominent auction company written into the will and they took nearly 500 pieces of Rookwood for future sale and the auctioneer I attend got commissioned to clear out the remainder. Apparently the auction company with first dibs on the stuff didn't dig very deep and let some great stuff slip through the cracks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
