An estimate is an expected selling price for an item at auction.

Unlike almost every major auction house in the country, we handle our own shipping in-house. We understand how frustrating it can be to have to work with third-party shippers to have your objects delivered to you. Meanwhile, we also understand how important it is for you to receive your objects safely. We have over 40 years of experience safely packing antique ceramics. By default your invoice will include a shipping total via UPS Ground; you can also, of course, pick up objects at our gallery. Please feel free to contact us if you would like a quote. (A very few lots will have notes at the end of their descriptions letting you know that the object is too big or fragile for us to handle shipping ourselves.)

Extremely Rare Two-Gallon Stoneware Jug with Cobalt Federal Eagle Motif, Stamped "WM E WARNER, / WEST TROY," NY State origin, mid 19th century, cylindrical jug with tooled shoulder and semi-squared spout, decorated with a slip-trailed design of a spread-winged eagle with shield across its chest, clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons. Further decorated below with American flag banners flanking a star. Cobalt highlights to maker's mark. While Warner produced pieces with flying eagle motifs as one of his signature designs, this jug is the first example that we have offered depicting an eagle in classic Federal style with shield, olive branch, and arrows. A large spout chip and two small spout chips. In-the-firing residue to proper left side of jug. Minor surface wear. H 13".
