| 説明 | ahwilkens.com/Auctions/Lots/363/1042I went to an auction the other day because I was hugely interested in this Scottish sterling silver vinaigrette.Sterling silver vinaigrettes are little boxes with a lid and compartment to store a fragrant substance or a smelling salt. A typical silver vinaigrette might be worth between 150 to 300 USD or British Pounds and up.But this one with an engraved rock crystal intaglio in the lid is very unusual, I immediately fell in love with it.Pre-sale estimate was USD $400 and I was quite ready to bid up to USD $800, $1,000 for it.Well, bidding was frenzy and it ended at CAD $4,135 (USD $3,045, GBP £ 2,445, EUR 2,840). ** Prices after all premiums and sales tax.No, I didn't even bid for it in the end. The opening price was already way over what I could afford. It's that little rock crystal intaglio top that turns this little box from a USD $300 piece to a $3,000 piece. |
