Strawser auction group holds a three-day sale series in Indiana on May 25 & 27-28. The third day will be given over to majolica wares, including the collection of Betsy and Rick Porter, and will feature pieces by some of the leading manufacturers in this field such as Minton and George Jones.
A highlight will be this particularly rare Minton game tureen on fitted stand, above right, from the Porter collection, made in the form of a boar’s head. It measures 22in (56cm) in length and 11½in (29cm) in height and carries an estimate of $40,000-60,000.
