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.)

Rare and Fine Slip-Decorated Redware Spaniel, PA origin, circa 1840-1880, slip-cast figure of a seated spaniel with incised details to face, the surface decorated with heavy spots and highlights in cream-colored and manganese slip, applied under a clear lead glaze. Bold decoration with appealing sideways glance to dog's face. This exact spaniel is pictured in the well-known 1993 Richard Flanders Smith poster entitled, "Birds & Beasts", which depicts Pennsylvania redware animal figures. Very nice condition with a 3/4" in-the-firing lime ping to dog's back, which has been partially covered with old glue or varnish. A second, small area of surface wear, possibly in the firing, is also covered with the same glue or varnish on the reverse side of the dog. H 7".
