MORE KENNEL COLUMBIAN TREASURES: 6-INCH TALL PORCELAIN TRANSFERWARE PITCHER#1226

Description

This porcelain handled pitcher is in perfect condition; I don't see any chips or cracks and there is no rzing on the surface. It is 6 inches tall and the image around the picher is that of the Columbian Agricultural Building.
We will send this pitcher wrapped well in a box and should you win any other item that can be packed in the same box or a similar on you will save lmost the entire cost of sending that additional item. If, however, you oopurchase this pitcher and then a 9x12 paper item they obviously cannot be shipped together and we won't be able to combine shipping.
We're also preparing for our largest sale ever--about 350 items in more than 250 lots, September 1st. The sale will include fixed priced items and auction items on Ebay all beginning at noon Pacific time on the first. There are always so many odd issues with listings on Ebay due to its enormous size that while we will try to have all items live simultanously it may not be possible, but the first and hpefully all items will go live at the same time on the first.
Included in the sale are a great many medals and other items from the Kennel Collection, plus several medals from the first-ever worlds fair, London's 1851 Crystal Palace. And one of the 1853 New York Crystal Palace items is a very rare original book-size guide to the exhibits. Naturally as a historian and author I gravitate to such things; it would be likely the only one of the books/guides/catalogs you will ever see from the first world's fair in the U.S., held just two years after the world's first....and 'only' 168 years ago!
Please contact us about the fixed-price and auction items in our upcoming sale: Ask about more information on the breadth of material in teh sale, the Columbian rarities and more.
And be watching for our third book about the World's Columbian Expo to be published at the end of the year. COLUMBIAN RARITIES will be just that, articles, photos and previously unpublished details about scores of true rarities from the Columbian Expo. Of course, a great many items in that book will be from the Kennel Collection.
