As usual, Showplace is proud to offer fresh to market merchandise from distinguished addresses in the New York City and Metropolitan area. From an East 62nd street estate comes a collection of Middle and Near Eastern antiquities including two Kashan Persian turquoise glazed stoneware tiles, an Indian Koftgari Dhal brass and metal parade shield, Nishapur Islamic lusterware pottery, and more. An unrivaled collection of Karen Karnes art pottery comes directly from a personal friend of the artist. Karnes, known for her salt-glazed stoneware pottery, was a student of Black Mountain College where she and her husband eventually became potters-in-residence. This sale will feature a number of her vessels including two table lamps and a number of vases and her signature cut-lid covered jars. And, from a private collection comes an impressive grouping of Continental bronze mantel clocks with exquisite Neoclassical ornamentation.
