CHADDS FORD, PENN. — William Bunch Auctions presented 535 lots of antiques, fine art, glass, china, furniture, silver, porcelain and more on December 12. The unexpected top lot of the sale was a pair of Meissen pâte-sur-pâte porcelain urns. With just one bid placed, the urns sold for $19,500 with buyer’s premium, more than double the high estimate of $8,000. The bodies of the urns are cobalt blue ground with a distinctive robin’s egg blue oval reserve, each featuring a pâte-sur-pâte female figure. Gilt and enamel accents frame the reserve, the base, the lid and the two handles of each urn. Each decorative handle is made from two intertwined white serpents. The cobalt lids of the 12-inch urns each feature white gilt-decorated leaves and an oval finial. Further exploration of the sale will be in an upcoming issue.
