LYON & TURNBULL Excellent MODERN MADE SALE

I always find their sales interesting ,although they never have a great deal of studio pottery, but like Bonhams it's normally good quality. I am interested in Breon O'Casey's work so it's nice to view a selection, the large Henderson piece also appeals, it shows a little more colour in the number of condition report pics than the catalogue entry, i have already logged in to bid.

In recent years their sales have had the best selection of any that matches my taste and I think I am going to have to go and view a sales once again.

The auction takes place a few days another auction that contains a book of mine that has a pre-sale estimate of £1000 - £1200. As the book cost me 50p some years ago, it could leave me with some funds to pay with.

No, a bound copy of football programmes from the 1926/7 season!

It hasn't sold yet. I was planning to put it on eBay but had no idea of was sort of money it was worth. I was hoping it might reach £100 but emailed a football programme dealer to ask if he might be interested in buying it before doing that.

He was very kind and emailed back to say that he only dealt in individual programmes but he hoped that I didn't mind but he had forwarded my email to a specialist auction house because the bound volume was worth some money.

What a gentleman!!

The MODERN MADE SALE at LYON AND TURNBULL, a nice sale with some excellent art and design items, a number of studio pottery items including a good piece by Magdelane Odundo, a couple of nice pots by a John Ward and many others.       https://www.lyonandturnbull.com/auctions/modern-made-767 The sale is on the 25th and 26th of April .

Hi Philpot, Yes an evening section with wine no doubt, it will be interesting to see what the Odundo fetches. I have my eye on a couple of pieces in the second day sale but the way prices are going recently i don't hold out much hope, reserves are low but meaningless.
