The first group of majolica pieces from the Strawser Fall Majolica Auction have been sold and by far the biggest surprise was the incredibly strong showing for several of the French figural pitchers. Of these, two Fives Lille pitchers were the stars bringing astonishing prices once the hammer fell.
The Fives Lille figural jug of a drunk man with a bottle brought an amazing $3,000 plus 18% commission, bringing the price to an eye-popping $3540!
Another Fives Lille pitcher that brought a high price was the French lion figural pitcher, which sold for $2100 plus commission.
Other French jugs also did well.
A Sarreguemines figural toby jug with helmet brought $1650 + commission and a French figural jug of man with tall hat brought $1300+.
A Georges Dreyfuss pitcher of a cockatoo brought $1100 + commission.
Tomorrow's auction features the oyster plates and the big, showy English pieces. We'll be following that one and report back to you once it's done.
