Tiffany Studios leaded glass lamps stole the spotlight in this sale. Both table lamps and hanging lamps generated high wattage bidding. Pull up a chair and check out these top table lamp highlights. Lot 2016, a stunning Drop-head Dragonfly table lamp buzzed to $130,000, while lot 2005, a Geranium table lamp with rich red flowers blossomed at $94,800. Lot 2100, a green, amber and yellow mottled glass Tyler Scroll table lamp wound its way to $23,107, and lot 2152, a blue Belted Dogwood with rich mottling hit $59,250. It was all systems go with lot 2185, a handsome green favrile bodied Moorish table lamp, which nearly doubled its high estimate to realize $14,220. And not to leave anyone hanging, lot 2081, a large leaded shade Black-Eyed Susan chandelier sold for $35,550.

Other fine lighting highlights included lot 2318, a Duffner & Kimberly Wisteria floor lamp that flowered at $47,400 and lot 2553, a purple, periwinkle, green and cream Galle floral themed cameo lamp which came in at just a shade under estimate to realize $47,400. And collectors followed the call of the great outdoors with lot 2340, a Daum Nancy Rain Scene lamp selling for $23,700.

This auction featured a fantastic assortment of gorgeous Galle vases. Three examples of the company’s mold blown treasures left buyers gasping for air. These included lot 2548, a bright pink floral Hyacinth vase, which realized $16,590; lot 2420, a shaded blue and purple Plum vase, which realized $11,850; and lot 2418, a red and yellow Cherry vase, which scored a juicy $11,850. And bird’s the word with another exceptional Galle rarity - lot 2554 - a cameo Penguin vase. This stunning example more than doubled its low estimate, chilling out at $46,689.

Daum was another premier glass manufacturer in this sale. Collectors could not seem to get enough of the company’s fantastic cameo glass and wheel-carved examples, among other specialties. Lot 2472, a large glass vase featuring cameo paperwhite flowers, more than doubled its low estimate to realize $11,850. Lot 2504, a cameo and enameled vase with a clear frosted body and an internal rainbow decoration, was a colorful sensation at $13,035; while lot 2344, a wheel-carved cameo Poppy vase realized an astounding $11,850 - nearly four times its low estimate! Lot 2469, a gorgeous padded and wheel carved floral themed vase with a green foot and a mottled pink and purple background, was a pretty big deal at $17,775. And lot 2350, a Rain Scene vase - one of the company’s most treasured and collectible patterns - thundered to $11,850.

Other highly collectible lamp and glass manufacturers also had a strong showing at this sales event. Lot 1263, a Webb cameo vase with intricately carved white cameo flowers, stems, and leaves was pretty in pink at $33,180. Lot 1430, a Suess Waterlily floor lamp, hit the ground running with bidders, eventually selling at $13,035. Lot 2461, a G. Argy Rousseau Poppies vase, bloomed at $11,257. And collectors put the pedal to the metal for lot 1453, a Pairpoint Puffy Rose Bouquet table lamp, which realized $9,480.

Exquisitely manufactured and decorated pottery was another important category in this fine sale. The selection of Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre on offer was truly a dream come true for collectors. Lot 1225, a Malfrey pot decorated in the Sycamore Tree pattern climbed to $14,220, while lot 1216, miniature a Malfrey pot decorated in the Elves and Bell Branch pattern defied its petite proportions to realize $10,665. And lot 1226, an absolutely delightful Fairyland Lustre vase decorated in the Candlemas pattern with candles, heads and elves, caught fire to sell at $9,480.

Bidders also took a shine to this auction's outstanding selections of silver and jewelry. A heavy metal highlight in these categories would have to be lot 1193, a Reed & Barton Francis I Sterling Service, which took its rightful place at the head of the table in realizing $11,257. Other crown jewels here included lot 1111, a platinum Cape Diamond ring which doubled its low estimate to bling in $20,145; lot 1038, a Jaeger Lecoultre Master Control Grande Memovox watch which marked time at $10,665; and lot 1083, a gorgeous 18k Cartier jade and enamel compact, which expanded to $11,850.

Julia as the premier auction house for the finest rare glass, lamps and fine jewelry in the market.
