Uncategorised Wanted Stanley tobacco pottery pot

[Stuka f]

I have a small collection of tobacco pots that represent very nice figures.

They are Victorian periode pottery's and made in Germany.

There is one I would like in particular and that is Stanley.

Not at any price! One was recently offered to me at 250€ with a small chip, I turned it down and it wasn't for the chip!

They generaly sufferd damages, so that is no problem to me. The price is!

cheers

Stuka  -  I can see your interest in these pottery figures.  Nicely made and painted  -  although , to my mind, a little stiff in the 

figuring.   Stanley was commissioned by a New York paper to go and look for Livingstone  -  although he was never lost.  I am

a Fellow of the British Royal Geographical Society and the main house, next to the Albert Hall , has Livingstone's hat hung on the staircase - he was sponsored by the RGS.

 

I hope your search is succesful.   Mervyn
