I just came across the results of a November auction at Stair Galleries in Hudson, New York. The sale included a number of Wedgwood lots, one of which I would surly have bid on. The lot consisted of fourteen black basalt seals plus several other items —
The webpage of the lot with a number of good pictures can be found at https://auctions.stairgalleries.com/lot/fourteen-wedgwood-black-basalt-seals-3900026
Sure wish I had seen this one.
Sorry I don’t know how else to contact you. I am looking for a reference book to identify intaglios seals and just wondered if you can recommend one ? I wanted a catalogue book of James Tassies collection but one with illustrations, I just ordered volumes 1 & 2 of a descriptive catalogue of a general collection of ancient and modern engraved gems, cameos etc and they are both just text – obviously my mistake. The information on the books though is so limited I could not work which one had illustrations so just ordered these two in the hope. I don’t suppose you could recommend one ? Thanks for your time Yvonne.
