Lot 241 is a Bigelow & Kennard illuminated fire screen featuring a mosaic glass design of roses set in a wrought iron framework.

Decorative Arts and Dedham Pottery: The 20th Century Design sale offers a wide section of unique pieces to update or add to a home, including lot 493, a mid-century modern bronze wall plaque made in New York City by Philip and Kelvin Laverne, estimated between $5,500 and $7,500; and lot 499, a studio pottery vase by the much admired Edwin and Mary Scheier, estimated between $2,000 and $3,000. Also of note are selections from the Dedham pottery collection of famed actress and director, Penny Marshall. The whimsical blue and white pottery is typically known for borders decorated with the iconic Dedham bunny. In this case, the bunny has been replaced with less commonly seen motifs that include elephants, turtles, chicks, and even a Scottie dog. This Scottie dog plate, lot 33, is estimated between $250 and $350. Finally, for the collector who has everything, lot 430 is a 1929 Lorraine Dietrich Brau greyhound car hood ornament. Its sleek design represents the epitome of the Art Deco period, and the piece is estimated between $800 and $1,200. Buying &Selling Auction Catalogs since 1995.
