Collection of Soviet and modern Russian porcelain bought 60.4 % by lots and 78 % for the money

Wednesday Evening, March 21 was the feast for all lovers of porcelain and faience: the auction house "collectors" were trading that will definitely go down in history in this collector's direction in Russia. Auction "Author and short-run Soviet and post-Soviet porcelain and faience" became not only the most successful in the history of the auction house "Among collectors" (as in revenue and the percent of sales), but also Russia's first auction dedicated exclusively to Soviet and modern Russian porcelain. It seems that these porcelain and faience — are the most popular among buyers.

the Results speak for themselves: total revenues 25,4 million rubles. amounted to 78% of the average total estimate of the collection — 32.6 million rubles. B most of the lots sold for prices above estimate, a — above several times, and even dozens of times. All lots were sold 229 of 379 (60,4 %). In the hall for almost the entire auction, which lasted for four hours (despite the fact that the lots were not 500, not 600, and 379), was attended by about two dozen collectors and dealers. Not idle observers, certainly. All intramural participants are actively traded. Online-биддеры, number about 30, in activity not inferior to them. But all the efforts of these participants, typically, were in vain: their rates persistently interrupted phone buyers. Rather, just one phone buyer, which, by my estimation, it took more than 100 lots of the auction. The overall picture of the sales of the following: phone buyers purchased approximately 54 % of all lots sold; online-игроки won 33 % of lots; in 8% of cases was played by the confrontation, and 5 % — correspondence.

the First section of the catalogue devoted to the pre-war Soviet porcelain (1917-1941), bought 53 % (found the new owners of 19 lots from 36). With the proceeds of a string made up of 7.59 million rubles — 69 % of the estimate. The first lot — propaganda porcelain plate, state porcelain factory put out in 1921 with an inscription "peace to the cottages — war to the palaces" in German designed by Mikhail Mikhailovich Adamovich — were sold for RUB 1 million to telephone the participant (the start of 990 thousand rubles). Further, for a starting price for 299 thousand RUB. thousand RUB. and 170, respectively, left two rare porcelain sculpture of Natalia Danko 1920-х years — Khan Giray of the triptych "the fountain of Bakhchisarai" (bought online) and the Chinese goddess of mercy Guan-Инь (acquired on the phone). Two teacups with the painting of Alexey vorobyevsky to 10-летию Oct went to the Internet to start for 950 thousand rubles.

Bought a selection of five porcelain sculptures by leading masters of the Lomonosov porcelain factory Taisiya Sergeevna Kuchkin (1909-1942), who died in the besieged Leningrad. Her memorable images of young naturalists have been sold with excess of estimates — every time phone buyer was overcome persistent online-игроков. From 135 to 250 thousand. traded online by phone for sculpture"Girl with a cat and a dog" (model 1938). From 175 to 240 thousand rubles rose in price figurine "Girl with hen and chickens" (model 1937). For 400 thousand rubles. went rare figurine "Girl with cat" (the starting price of 380 thousand rubles.). Miniature (height 6.8 cm) "Girl with calf" was sold for 150 thousand rubles (estimate 135 thousand rubles). Finally, the figurine "Girl with rabbit" went to all the same telephone buyer for 60 thousand rubles at the start from 55 thousand rubles.

Another in a string of pre-war China to mention you can sell at launch for 380 thousand of the sculpture "Dancer" (LPF, 1930-е.) on the model of Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev. And top-лотом section was a vase "Budenovtsy" 1935, with paintings of the artist's love of Karlovna, blak (1908-1983). Vase rare, more commonly known a tea set painted black on the same theme. The first bet on the vase came from the Internet, but winning was still the next phone bid — 1.75 million RUB

Next big section of the catalog were devoted to various Soviet porcelain, fired from 1940-х until 1991. It sold 85 lots from 136 (62,5 %) 13,83 million rubles (82% of the average total estimate section). Lots for the most part non-negotiable went to a telephone buyer. But for some items "a bloody battle" (in the words of the auctioneer Sergei) is still played. For example, the sculpture of the legendary artist Dulevo porcelain factory asty brzezicki the "Rehearsal "Inspector" at the national theater" (1969-1970), the Internet was arguing with the phone with 780 thousand rubles to 2.4 million RUB This author's copy of the sculpture, thus, larger than the initial estimate of three times and became the top-лотом of the auction. Victory, as you might guess, was once again on the side of the phone.

Swift was bargaining for a sculpture of Mary a Cold "Girl with goose", created by the Konakovo faience factory in the late 1940-х — 1950-е. online persistently tried to interrupt the correspondence rate. Retreated online-игроки only at the level of 550 thousand. RUB., leaving far behind the starting price of 290 thousand.

full-time players, as a rule, was engaged in a controversy for not the most expensive, but definitely a very cute little things. For example, for a cute "Animal" Dulevo sculptor P. M. Kozhin was traded from 14 to 25 thousand rubles., and for a couple of stops for books in Latvian girls bargaining with 5.5 thousand RUB reached 20 thousand. But both times the room the phone was lost. Internet one won the phone of the player in the fight for an adorable miniature (height 6 cm) "Comforting" 1940-х. LFZ sculptor G. S. Stolbova. A touching scene with the girl comforting little brotherwith the launch of 230 thousand. have risen in price up to 300 thousand. In the dispute for lot 96 — sculpture "the Boy on the donkey" factory Verbilki authorship K. V. Popova — online-игрокам had to haggle with the phone buyer from 99 to 190 thousand rubles., and their tenacity was rewarded: the lot was a virtual player.

Another work asty Brzezicki (author of the song "the Auditor") exceeded the estimate by almost 8 times. Decorative bottle "Rat" from the series "Oriental calendar" (Dulevo porcelain factory, 1983) in a dispute party in the hall, several online-игроков and phone has increased in price from 11.5 to 85 thousand RUB Won the Internet. Next, two works by another artist Dulevo porcelain factory of Galina, Chechulino, left with a good start of the excess. Author's copies of sculptures from the series "Fun" — "clown with accordion" and "buffoon balalaika" — was sold for 110 and 140 thousand rubles respectively (the starting estimate in both cases was at 85 thousand rubles.).

After a short and very timely break trading continued string of works grouped by author. Exhibited entirely author's copies are always more popular among collectors. The first string — works from the collection of the sculptors Y. B., Henrio, I. V. Ganio and N. N. Sanrio — sold was 85 % (sold 58 out of 68 lots). But much more impressive here total revenue — 1.76 million RUB., or 328 % of total rate Thong!

For almost every lot here unfolded serious struggle between full-time, online@- and phone players. For example, easily larger than the initial estimate of 10 times two decorative ashtrays Yuri Borisovich, Sanrio: author's copy ashtrays "Red gold" left over 20 thousand. at the start of 2 thousand rubles., and the ashtray "Horse" (personal copy) got a new owner for 50 thousand rubles at the start with 5 thousand RUB thousand RUB Over 75 left the teapot in red and blue stripes of the Dmitrov plant (starting score of 4 thousand rubles.). From 15 to 80 thousand rubles traded decorative kit "Scarlet" of the 7 items authorship Y. B., Henrio. Finally, from 16 to 170 thousand rubles rose in price decorative kettle "50 years of Yuri Borisovich, Sanrio" autographed by the colleagues of the master-фарфориста.

On the works of Nelli Nikolaevna, Ganrio to revive the Internet and the phone took a short pause. A few lots failed to win the audience. A few times zaochku. For example, for 75 thousand rubles. was sold by absentee rate sculpture "sitting cat" Nelly Sanrio — when that started with 5 thousand RUB Another cat — this time going — were sold at the absentee rate of 60 thousand. (score 5 thousand rubles). I was impressed with the care sets of two dummies "Fun" Y. B., Henrio. Argued three members in the hall, Internet, but the phone was still insistent. The hammer price of 90 thousand rubles. from the start of 14 thousand rubles.

Top-лотом in the string of works from the collection of porcelain, Genryo Y. B., I. V. Ganio and N. N. Ganrio, was the product not even their authorship. The main event of the Thong was happening from the collection of Sanrio sculpture "Boy with a Piglet" authorship of the artist Dulevo porcelain factory, a pupil of V. E. Tatlin, Aleksei Georgievich Sotnikov (1904-1989). Author's copy 1940-50-х 16 thousand RUB traded two participants in the room, Internet and telephone. Adequately, up to 260 thousand RUB fought one of the full-time players, but the next bet is 280 thousand. RUB. bow-таки the scales on the side of the phone party. Total lot exceeded estimate at 17.5 times!

Later the author's Thong porcelain was quite small — generally not more than 10 lots. Just 10 lots of works of the artist of the Riga porcelain factory Antonina Pashkevich (1951) sold was 100 %. Decorative trays with images of lobsters, squid, octopus, flounder and other sea creatures, and figures of the "Katyusha" and "Dancer" brought a total of almost 118 thousand rubles (188 % of the valuation of Thong).

Without attention there are 5 G. A. V. Traugot. Next, I bought 3 of the 4 works of V. A. Sergeev. Of the 18 works by the artist B. E. Kalita, made at the Dmitrov porcelain factory sold was 5. The most expensive was the tea set tete-а-тет 1992: 110 thousand RUB it was purchased by a phone buyer. Following the author — Ukrainian sculptor V. I. Shcherbina — was represented by 10 works, of which I bought 6, some — is more expensive than the estimate. For example, the sculpture "the pedlar" from the start dotorgovalas RUB 40 thousand to 70 thousand

Final Thong modern porcelain LFZ/Imperial porcelain factory and books is not so important for understanding the total picture of trading, which is already impressive. Category Soviet porcelain and faience, after watching such a live auction is one of the strongest on the market today. Especially when it comes to copyright porcelain small lottery and good sound. Let's hope that the next specialist auction of porcelain and faience "Among collectors" will delight us no less, and even more diverse selection of lots.
