Lot 2582		Figure of Nude Dancing Maiden. Hutschenreuther-Selb. In bisque porcelain, the octagonal base fully glazed, with applied gold border. The lithe, elfin-like figure delicately tinted with fired matte color -- her eyes a gray-white, her hair a light brown. The maid steps daintily forward, high on her toes, with torso twisting to the left, but arms sharply to the right, and raised, with her hands articulating those exotic gestures reminiscent of the girl dancers from Bali. Intact and pristine. Height: 8-3/4". By C. Werner; to side, L(?) M, lightly painted in red. Firm's name in green, with lion in oval, LHS beneath. Paper sticker with penciled in serial numbers.

Lot 2586		Interesting Tiffany Lidded Box in Hand-Painted Porcelain. The hexagonal box white, with faintly blue-tinged glaze, and attractive Turkish-style painted floral arabesques in cerulean blue, with added gold highlights, on the lid, and a similar floral wreath encircling the walls. A gilt bronze hinged frame, with rosette catch, joins the lid to the body. On underside of body, painted in red, a four line inscription: "Tiffany & Co., Private Work, Hand Painted, Made in France." At bottom, also in red, "509 B". In painted blue, an L, retrograde E, and T; beneath, in block letters, "AM." To left, the painted blue pottery mark "erased" by overpainting in fired gold. Aside from the metal rosette being a little bent, and slight wear to the gilding, the box overall very fresh. Box width: 3". This would have been done around 1900, plus or minus a decade. This is the first time we've handled a Tiffany "private," or commission work like this, and can make no other warranties aside from the information on the box. It is an attractive object, but the bidder's experience should be one's guide as to what it's worth. Estimated Value $300 - 500. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold
