HI All ,
Well!! here is a departure for me ,following the recent discussions on this artist and having seen the exhibition at Cambridge I have been looking around for some Komaromy pieces to buy , so far this is what has arrived , the tallest is 11 1/2 ins and the other 9 1/2 ins including bases , both are in perfect condition, if anyone would like copies of the full size images , just email.

WOWEE stunning i wish i had seen them :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :cry:

Thanks all for the comments ,
An odd addition to my collecting but after seeing the exhibition at the Cambridge Glass fair I was so impressed with the skill and artistry of this guys work I just had to have some pieces, the 2 horses also came with one of Komaromy's little handbooks about himself and his creations ,so i think the horses may have been bought new by the last owner.
anyway , any dancers out there for sale ? , would look good between the 2 horses i think .
Cheers ,
Peter.

Oooooh! Peter....you sneaky man....did you wait for me to leave the country? I was in France!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :o
They are beautiful....would look perfect either side of my dancer.....fancy bringing them round to see if you agree.....you will get a free cuppa!! :t:
-
Sorry Rosie, :cry:
They were spotted in an auction while I was trolling for Georgian glass , saw them, and had to have them,so I am afraid they will be staying here ,despite the very inviting cuppa , :t:
cheers,
Peter.

:cry: Sorry 'bout that......thought for a moment you might have wanted to share them!! One each perhaps and a fortnightly loan of the dancer??
Seriously though, I am thrilled for you.....I know how I felt about getting the dancer.....Lady Luck shines on us all occasionally, and this time it was your turn. Enoy them Peter....they are very very special.

My lovely husband said I could have an early Christmas Present........so I made an offer for them....guess what?.................................................................................... ;D

How much do you love your husband Rosie? :smg: :kissy: :kissy: :kissy:

Rosie so when are you sending my one as promised - see above . :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: >:D jp
-
Well done Rosie :smg: :hiclp:, I pondered too long on whether to make an offer,and when a couple of items a few hundred years older became available the decision was made , glad you got them,in my opinion this long forgotten master craftsmans work will only gain in popularity and price in the coming years , so any that can be bought ,should be .
Cheers ,
Peter.

I'll post some pictures in a new thread so we don't hijack Peter's any longer! :hj: Sorry Peter....but I must say you have very good taste. :sun: Oooh, see you have just posted another few wise words. :kissy:
