Regarding the auction, Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates’ ceramic specialist, Jill Fenichell, said, “I’m really thrilled about the variety of goods we’re selling in October. Today’s market is dominated by fresh goods in wonderful condition, and everything we’re selling is fresh. I’m particularly excited about introducing our concept sale, the Teapot Extravaganza—something fun and something new for new collectors.”

Fenichell will host two gallery walks on Sept. 29. At 10:30 a.m. Eastern she will hold an informal discussion of the Shelley wares being offered; and at 3:30 p.m. she will offer a personal view of the teapots being auctioned.
