Monart/Vasart - Vincent Vasart Vase type
cfosterk:
Hi!
Not sure how many Monart/Vasart collectors on here but did anyone see the vase sold by Lindsay Burns in Perth yesterday? Milky white/grey glass covered in multi-coloured filigree canes. Looks like musuem quality!!!
Fantastic and very rare piece - a few Harland weights were sold too.
Why do I always find out AFTER the auction has taken place?? lol!!!! :(
cfosterk:
Hmmmmmmm, lot didn't sell.......
Reserve was set at £450 and description of monart seems dubious. Checked previous thread regarding an item 'selling' at McTears in April which also didn't sell. The thread cast great doubt/confusion over who was responsible for the orange ewer for sale then - ranging from monart to vasart to paul ysart - and all parts in between.
Frank suggested that an early attribution seemed dubious as these items were only cropping up very recently - seems to be a pattern. Could these be very recent production using older canes??
Just a thought....
Kiwi Bill:
Hi,
I use - The-saleroom.com - for Monart/Vasart/Ysart auctions and it doesn't cost a penny, unless you win a bid
of course, but hey, you already knew this.........yes!!!
Are you aware of the Loves auction, the following day, also Perth. You missed out again!!!
The only trouble I have is getting the pieces to New Zealand, if I win!!!!!
cfosterk:
i'll register immediately!!
Frank:
I think they are Vasart period as all I have seen have been Vasart shapes. Apart from the ewers and they are different to the one Monart design I have had, a myth has grown that these are Salvador Ysart but no-one has ever offered proof.
I don't usually look in this forum as since moving my Ysart Glass forum to Scotland's Glass forums I have had a lot less spare time.
