Since 2002, expert Sabine Neumaier has led the porcelain department, which presents European porcelain and faience from the 16th to the 19th centuries and European glass from the 18th and 19th centuries. Among the lots, often from venerable collections in Switzerland or other European countries, are numerous highlights that command top prices at our auctions. Museum administrators frequently participate in the bidding for their institutions. Rare early Meissen décors in the “Asian” style rank among the most treasured collectibles. Italian faïence and majolica also elicit active interest, especially among Italian collectors. Next Auction: 22 June 2013
Consigment deadline: 12 April 2013
