They both brought over 6K after it was said in done but they had just about perfect labels. As I mentioned earlier, I would have been happy to have one sans labeling with a missing neck!

Status: offline 		Well, now that you mention it.. being an artist and a painter, I couldn't help but be touched by the background in your photos!
The sculpture looks really heavy.. it's made of metal, no? Those ballisters, all shiny and clean and only moderate brush stroke texture.. what craftsmen do you prefer? I want their cards.. also whoever painted that Aura™ crap on those walls deserves a presidential pardon!

How was it obtained? Did you pull it out of someone's attic?

I was fortunate enough to be given right of first refusal before she was placed at auction or brought to a show, contrary to what some people on the forum have said, there are still some people with a heart and a conscience out there, Jim is one of them.

Bottle people can be so nice, well most of them!

Great bottle Gary! I'm pretty sure a lot of Pa. Dutch and Amish-german settled there in Ohio.......

Status: offline 		Hmmm, I guess the rare ones are rare and the common ones, not so much. The way I see it, due to the cost of the batch, there were only so many commissioned to begin with. I have about 450 mouth blown examples and I know of a couple dozen that I don't have, then there are the ones that I don't know of.

I hope that answered your question.
