Strawser Auctions Presents

Fine Majolica for the Connoisseur October 28th 2017, Alderfer Auction Center, Hatfield, PA

Welcome to Strawser Auctions Annual ‘Fine Majolica For The Connoisseur’ 2017 Catalogue. Michael Strawser, President of Strawser Auction Group and founder of the Majolica International Society, together with the World’s premier Majolica authority, Nicolaus Boston are very proud and excited to be able to offer for sale, 430 lots of Museum Quality Majolica including 240 lots from the respected and published Connecticut based collection of Donna & David Reis.

Over 20 years ago, Donna and David Reis, set out to build a World Class Majolica Collection, concentrating on the very finest quality, ‘only one known’ examples and where possible, pieces that were exhibited at the major 19th century World fairs.

Sourcing from auction houses and respected Majolica dealers, taking first class advise from Joan Stacke Graham and Nicolaus Boston, the Reis’s collection grew to become one of the finest in the World.

Some of the highlights of our selection from the Reis Collection (and there are many) is the Important and Very Rare, Georges Jones Giraffe and Stag Centrepiece (lot 93) and the monumental Hugo Lonitz Swan Tureen (lot 145) which grace the front cover of our catalogue.

Lot 129, the massive Minton Majolica Jardiniere supported by three putti, the body colored in a rare French Blue glaze, an example shown at the London International Exhibition 1862, is truly the ultimate Minton Majolica Exhibition Centrepiece.

Delphin Massier, another area favored by the Reis’s, is represented in the catalogue, notably the rare pair of yellow orchid vases (lot 190) and the peacock and butterfly jardiniere on stand (lot 188).

The work of the celebrated company, Hugo Lonitz, Black Forest style Majolica was a keen favorite of the Reis’s and one of the very first collectors to recognize the excellent quality and charm of this German manufacturers work. Lots 146-157 are all wonderful examples.

Also included in this year’s catalogue are many very rare and important pieces sourced from collections around the World, notably the most wonderful Hugo Lonitz Monumental figure of a Hawk (lot 146), possibly the finest example of this company’s work and one of only two known examples.

Worthy of a mention are the two very rare Minton Majolica Palissy Ewers on Stands designed by Hamlet Bourne after a 16th century original the red ground example being exceptionally rare. (lots 119 & 121) Michael and Nicolaus hope that this year’s catalogue, pleases you, excites you and encourages you to be part of this year’s exciting event. We encourage prospective buyers to contact us with any questions for any of the 430 lots, we will be delighted to answer your enquiries, with a combined Majolica experience of over sixty years, we are confident that our advice is second to none.

Michael and Nicolaus will be delighted to meet you personally at the Alderfer Auction Center, Hatfield, Pennsylvania on 28th of October.

We wish you the best luck, and hope that you will be successful in adding to your collections from ‘Fine Majolica For The Connoisseur’ 2017.

Warmest regards, Michael and Nicolaus
