« on: July 09, 2009, 01:38:17 PM »
its gone already, for those of you who didnt see it (it wasnt there long! )heres the link.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250460203506

I was tempted, and asked for a pic of signature, but someone?? (any one know who??)
bought it for £850.
If signed by Michael, someone did well :hiclp:

Cheers,

OMG i didnt spot that one would have been in there like a shot.... thats worth alot more than £850!!! i would imagine it is a Harris signiature, i think he was the only one skilled enough to make these back then, if it def harris is it was undervalued!! ive seen them valued around £1200 but didnt one make quite a bit more than that at auction?..i cant remeber how much it was now but i remember hearing that it broke the celling value for Mdina at auction. does anybody know what it went for??

Ron from www.artiusglass.co.uk just sold one for £3400. A world record price for a piece of Michael Harris's work.

15, and counting. Only the 4th signed one, though.

But yes, only Michael Harris made them at Mdina, so they are all definitely MH pieces.

 >:D I only paid £90 for mine, including P&P. No sig, but I don't care in the slightest.

Does anybody know exactly how long the auction was available? There were two hours between the first bid and the BIN.

Started 8.04pm on the 7th...sold 9.16am on the 8th, so 13 hours 12 min (and 16 seconds to be precise).
