April 1, 2023. 3:45pm. Thank you to everyone--our bidders and consignors--for making our Spring auction a truly landmark sale. At over $1.8 million, this auction represented our second-highest grossing sale ever, behind only our Summer 2021 auction that featured the monumental David Drake verse jar and Anna Pottery Liberty Monument. Lot 1, the Loudoun County, Virginia, ring flask, realized a *New World Auction Record for Virginia Stoneware* at $170,000 plus 20% buyer's premium: $204,000! Winning bidders will be invoiced Monday morning; thank you again! All Our Best, The Zipps
