Hightower Collection Auction in March
The Mickey Hightower collection of Wedgwood is to be offered at Bonhams Skinner in March of 2025. Mickey started collecting in 1980, first with his attraction to black basalt and rosso antico and then moving on to the many 19th and 20th century wares including those produced by studio and freelance artists of their day. Offered will be a number of hand-painted pieces by Emile Lessore, a variety of Marsden wares, a wide assortment of Ivory Vellum, 2nd-period bone china ornamental wares, and from artists including Keith Murray, Erling Olsen, Norman Wilson, Michael Dillon, Elwyn James and Anita Synovec. More details to follow.
Mickey has a long history with Wedgwood collectors and his involvement with the Wedgwood International Seminar. He has served as secretary, president, and seminar chairman. Additional fine examples or collections of Wedgwood are being accepted to accompany the Hightower collection. Please contact Stuart Slavid at [email protected] or at 508-970-3278.
