Several items could conceivably end up being the top lot of the auction. Here are a few contenders:

Anyone in the market for a colorful and outstanding quality vase is in luck. This sale’s got dozens of them. Examples include a Morgan Wheeling Peachblow art glass vase, 10 inches tall with nice color, an acid/satin finish and the original glass base; and a signed Stevens & Williams English cameo three-color vase having yellow ground with pink and white cameo carved floral branch décor, 5 ¾ inches tall.

Still other vases will feature an unmarked English cameo art glass vase, 8 ½ inches tall, on blue ground with incredible white cameo carved overlay of poppy and butterfly décor, from the Sue Frick collection; and an art glass vase marked Crown Milano in a swirl mode with a beautiful Guba duck scenic décor, 7 ½ inches in height and pulled out of the Doyle and Mary Jane Fair collection.

An agata art glass bowl with a rare pink to lavender coloring, outstanding mottling, a ruffled rim and unequaled quality is offered with a Reed & Barton #968 silverplate frame, which works well to display the bowl. Also sold will be an extra nice pair of signed Handel #6150 boudoir lamps, 14 ½ inches tall, with beautiful reverse painted shades showing spring and fall season decors and a marked Handel base.

An original oil on board painting signed “B. P. Ommeganck” (for Balthazar Paul Ommeganck, 1755-1826), titled Landscape with Sheep (1814), in a gilt wooden frame that partially covers the signature and date, is 20 inches by 24 ¼ inches. Ommeganck was a Flemish painter of landscape and animals who was active in Antwerp. Through his work and role as an art teacher and founder of art institutions, he gave an important impetus to the revitalization of landscape painting in Europe’s Low Countries.
