Another noted SJ Auctioneers specialty is Herend porcelain, and choice pieces appear in the June 12 lineup. Certain to be fiercely fought for is a large Herend Guild Kingdom Classic 2011 Dove of Peace in the platinum fishnet pattern. The hand-painted porcelain work depicts the bird with an olive branch, perched on a globe. It is described as being in “Perfect Brand New MINT Condition with no chips, cracks or repairs,” and it comes with its original box. In addition, the lot notes declare the “pictures, in no way, does this figurine justice.” The Herend dove has an estimate of $3,000-$6,000.
