Unique R.S. Prussia bowl and Regina music box triumph at Woody

 

DOUGLASS, Kan. – A Spring Season bowl marked R.S. Prussia soared to $24,000 and a Regina upright music box brought $15,400 at the sale of the lifetime single-owner collection of David and Marlene Howard of Ohio, held March 19 by Woody Auction.

What made the R.S. Prussia bowl so desirable to bidders was the fact that it is the only known example of a Spring Season bowl in the Carnation mold. The bowl featured a portrait decor and a lavender and white satin finish. The Regina upright music box, serial #3500107, had a mahogany case, curved glass, its original Regina label, a double comb and dial selector, and came with 22 15-inch discs.

“Having the opportunity to sell the collection of David and Marlene Howard, who regularly attended Woody Auction events since I was a child, was truly exciting,” said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. “Any time you get to sell the only known example of an item means you are part of history – and a very small club – and that’s very special. The Howards spent time finding only the best items.”

An electrified table lamp by Pairpoint with a Venice shade having a large pink rose decor went for $7,700. Also, a signed Daum Nancy French cameo art glass vase, boasting a yellow, white, orange and amethyst mottled ground, commanded $3,450.

A plated amberina art glass trumpet vase by New England changed hands for $2,475; an American brilliant cut glass vase in the Othello pattern by Clark, 20in tall and weighing more than 17 pounds, hit $1,800; and an oval signed Daum Nancy French cameo art glass vase with winter scene decor brought $3,300.

A top-quality cake plate marked R.S. Prussia in the Iris mold, with a fall season portrait decor and an iridescent Tiffany border with heavy gold, went for $3,000. Also, a French cameo art glass vase, marked Daum Nancy, with a white, orange, amethyst and yellow mottled ground and fantastic cameo carved goji berry decor and enamel highlights, brought $3,300.

A chocolate pot marked R.S. Prussia in the Rosebud mold, decorated with a keyhole winter scene portrait decor, an iridescent Tiffany background and extensive gold stencil highlights, achieved $3,025; while an American brilliant cut glass bowl with hobstar, strawberry diamond and facet cut lapidary gems around the bowl made $2,875.

A bowl marked R.S. Prussia in the Carnation mold, graced with a portrait decor and a white and lavender satin finish, sold for $2,500. Also, a berry set marked R.S. Prussia, consisting of a master bowl and six matching berry bowls, reached $2,000.

A chocolate set marked R.S. Prussia in a cream satin finish with soft pink rose decor, comprising a chocolate pot with six matching cups and saucers, realized $1,700; while an unmarked R.S. Prussia child’s seven-piece tea set (which included a teapot along with a matching creamer, sugar, cups and saucers) in the Snowbird decor and in a Lily mold, with blue, cream and white tones, made $1,980.

Rounding out the highlights was a French cameo art glass bowl signed Daum Nancy, having an orange, white and yellow mottled ground with a cameo carved winter scene and enamel highlights. The bowl found a new home for $2,280.
