February 11, 2026. 12:11pm. We would like to thank you for your support of our auction of Part Two of The Carole Carpenter Wahler Collection. This auction grossed an impressive total of $1,497,000 on 304 lots, including a 20% buyer's premium. Combined with Part One, held in January 2025, Wahler's landmark collection of 606 lots grossed over $2.8 million, over twice the collective high estimate of $1.25 million.
Full highlights are available here: www.crockerfarm.com/highlights/carole-wahler-collection/
The sale of Wahler's fifty-year assemblage of 19th and 20th century Southern stoneware and redware was both extremely gratifying to us as an auction house and validating to her legacy as an iconic collector and leading authority on Tennessee pottery.
We are currently lining up our slate of 2026 auctions and expect our Spring sale--to be held April 1st through 10th--to be an exceptional one. Offering the best in American stoneware & redware, we are grateful for the opportunity to regularly bring objects of this quality to market. Most of all, we feel our strength of properly interpreting these pieces and giving important objects (and the collectors who treasure them!) the voice they deserve is what sets us apart. If you are someone who plans on selling their collection in the not-too-distant future and care about how your legacy as a collector is forever established to the broader collecting world, we would love to speak with you.
We are currently accepting consignments for our Spring auction and beyond; please contact us today to discuss our market-leading presentation of your pottery and competitive commission rates. As the snow finally begins to thaw this week, we look forward to seeing you in warmer times at our Sparks, MD gallery for a year of exciting ceramics sales.
All Our Best,
Anthony, Barbara, Brandt, Luke & Mark Zipp || More Website News Briefs
