Auction Note: We are happy and proud to have been chosen to auction the estate of Frances Stewart Higgins. Mrs. Higgins and her late husband Michael were well known in collector circles for their unique art glass that they had been producing since about the time they were wed in 1948. They experimented in areas no other glassmakers had and through a succession of "controlled accidents" they came upon a handcrafted glass like no other. Within a couple of years they were having a hard time keeping up with the demand for their work. Marshall Field, Bloomingdale's and Georg Jensen were just a few of their retailers. We are offering close to three hundred pieces of art glass from their own private collection. Many of the pieces had been illustrated in a reference book by Donald-Brian Johnson and Leslie Pina titled Higgins Adventures in Glass. Their tastes in other collectibles varied greatly. Also being offered from her estate is a large selection of Santos sculptures, Native American pottery and baskets, glass and pottery antiquities, art glass from other well known makers and a collection of primitive kitchen ware and accessories.
As well as the Higgins estate we are also offering the goods from several other consignments and mid-west estates and on Saturday we will have a double auction ring that includes stamps and coins.
A large portion of our Sunday auction will be offered at eBay Live Auctions. For more information regarding this contact our office.
