The 165-piece Georg Jensen acorn sterling silver European dinner-size flatware service for 12 includes six rare hors d’oeuvres spears. The set includes a soft storage case ($18/22,000). The 119-piece sterling silver flatware set for 12 by Old Newbury Crafters in the Wilton pattern was retailed by Shreve, Crump & Low and was hammered in a style similar to Georg Jensen ($14/16,000).
The IWC vintage textured 18K yellow gold Khanjar ladies’ watch with bezel features a 30mm case, 100 hours movement, a manual wind function for hours and minutes, a power reserve, 18K yellow gold clasp and a gold-colored strap ($8,5/12,000). The Graff 18K yellow gold Khanjar ladies watch has features similar to the IWC ($7,650/10,800).
Porcelains will be highlighted by a pair of Meissen hand-painted, marked figurines, about 13½ inches tall ($400/650) and a Royal Vienna hand-painted vase (or urn) showing the maker’s mark and measuring just shy of 8 inches tall and 3¾ inches wide ($250/500). Also up for bid will be Old Paris figurines.
Jewelry will be led by a sleek and sophisticated Bvlgari Tubogas tri-color gold necklace featuring a trio of precious metals (18K gold, sapphire and tsavorite) and dynamic tones paired with Bvlgari’s signature construction ($26,775/37,800).
There are many other jewelry items in the sale as well, including a Bvlgari 18K yellow gold ring with a yellow Heliodor gemstone at the center, surrounded by 1.0 carats of diamond accents ($8,925/12,600); a necklace designed by Prince Dimitri boasting an imaginatively envisioned key pendant crafted from platinum and presented on a black cord ($7,735/10,920); and Van Cleef & Arpels earrings made from 18K yellow gold, with diamond accents weighing 1.10 carats ($6,545/9,240).

Each band is fully lined with brilliant diamonds ($3,953/5,580).
Fans of majolica — the often wildly colorful pottery pieces so popular with collectors — will want to be mindful that there will be modest estimates to encourage brisk bidding activity for dozens of lots of majolica, in patterns, shapes and sizes that will complement any collection.
Returning to silver, a sterling silver flask from the early Twentieth Century, inlaid with two-tone 14K gold, measuring 5½ by 4 inches and approximately weighing 6 troy ounces, bearing hallmarks, should bring $800-$1,200; and a sterling silver yacht sailboat with display case hand-crafted in Japan by the famous silversmith Takehiko (Seki Takehikoii), hallmarked 950 (a higher purity than sterling 925), signed Takehiko, mounted on a wood stand, is expected to make $200/250.
A group of six silver 84 tea spoons made in China by Russian silversmith émigrés who fled to Harbin, China, during the Russian Revolution in the early Twentieth Century, carries an estimate of $350/450. All spoons are hallmarked with the 84 Zolotnik mark and come in the original presentation box, with Japanese hand-written inscriptions. Each spoon is 4 3/8 inches long.
Toys will also be plentiful, with lots that include a hard-to-find 1952 Marx Roy Rogers Rodeo Ranch playset with the original box ($150/350); a German-made Schuco tin litho wind-up vehicle, 5½ inches long, with key, in working condition ($250/500); a Japanese-made Yonezawa tin toy replica of a Japan Airlines JAL Boeing 747 jumbo jet with the original box ($500-$1,000); and a set of four Pelham puppets made in England, 1960 ($300/750).
