A Claude Conover Milpa stoneware vessel of ovoid shouldered form has an estimate of $4,000-$6,000. Conover was educated at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

The sterling silver category will be led by a large Tiffany & Company monteith, circa 1966, of oval form with a scalloped rim raised on baroque style scroll legs, and weighing 109.375 oz. troy.

Neue Auctions has become renowned for attracting wild and wonderful items to its sales, and this one will be no exception. A few of the more eclectic offerings up for bid are a unique and colorful blown, cut and assembled glass and painted aluminum bench made circa 2004 by Therman Statom and estimated at $2,000-$4,000.

Another head-turner is an 18th-century French School oil on canvas titled Portrait of an Actress. The subject likely a man in women’s garb, as women were denied acting pursuits. The portrait is estimated at $1,000-$2,000.
