The higher-dollar items will be offered in the October 25th session. A candidate for top lot of the auction is an unmarked Wave Crest round wall plaque, 9 ¾ inches in diameter, with a rare and eye-catching Native American Chief portrait with the artist’s initials (“R.L.”).

There is a fine selection of beautiful vases in the sale, by top-name makers. These will be led by a signed Daum Nancy French cameo art glass vase, fire polished and of excellent quality. The 6 ¾ inch tall vase, boasting a white translucent and dark cranberry ground, a cameo carved poppy décor and a textured hammered surface, is expected to change hands for $3,000-$5,000.
