By: SJ Auctioneers Fine silver – whether spectacular individual pieces or flatware services by famous makers – is a hallmark of SJ Auctioneers and a primary reason for its recent success. Both will be in strong evidence in the March 1st sale. Two items expected to draw great attention include a stunning Buccellati sterling silver and marble fish stand platter bowl made in Italy in 1950, 47cm long by 52cm wide, expected to bring $25,000-$28,000; Kirk sterling silver repousse landscape water pitchers in fine condition will be sold as single lots. One is 10 inches tall and weighs 22.7 troy oz. The other is 8 ¾ inches tall and weighs 28 troy oz. Each has an estimate of $5,000-$5,500. Also, a Charles Clement Pilling (London) sterling silver armada decanter jug from 1903, 33cm tall, weighing 1000 grams, should fetch $4,000-$4,400. Tiffany & Co. will dominate the list of expected top lots in the sterling silver flatware category. Topping the list is a 103-piece dinner and luncheon set in the Audubon pattern, without a single piece missing and housed in a three-tier used Reed and Barton silverware chest. The set, weighing about 209 troy oz., is estimated at $22,000-$24,000. An immaculate, 102-piece Tiffany & Co. dinner size flatware service set in the English King pattern, also complete with no pieces missing and contained in a used three-tier silverware chest by Reed and Barton, weighing 147 troy oz, should finish at $17,000-$19,000. Neither set has a monogram. Also from Tiffany is a 61-piece sterling flatware service for 12 in the Chrysanthemum pattern, a rare find and in excellent, crisp condition, weighing about 105 troy oz. and housed in a three-tier vintage Reed and Barton chest. It has an estimate of $16,000-$18,000. Here is a link to the auction catalog on LiveAuctioneers.com: To learn more visit www.sjauctioneers.com. End
