Brunk Auctions recently sold a Rare Dorflinger “Montrose” Punchbowl Set from the collection of George Siek for a staggering $114,000. Over 100 lots from the Siek Collection were sold at Brunk Auctions in July 2017, with the remainder of his collection being offered in the upcoming July 2018 Auction. Competitive bidding on his iconic collection led to a 100% sell-through rate.

Among the top lots from The Collection of George Siek in the upcoming auction are a Turquoise Hawkes Brilliant Period Cut Glass Ewer and a Hawkes ‘Panel’ Punchbowl Set. His collection will total over 200 lots in the July Auction.

Included in the Property from the Collection of G. C. Whiticar is a Palm Shell Pattern Ice Cream Tray designed by Thomas Singleton and attributed to the Ohio Cut Glass Company.

The top lots from the American Brilliant Period Cut Glass Collection of R. Gray and Suzanne Sexton include a J. Hoare Cut Glass Ewer and an ‘Alhambra’ Pattern Sterling and Cut Glass Pitcher by Meriden.

From the Private Collection, Texas is a green, cranberry, and amethyst Dorflinger “Montrose” pattern bowl and a Hawkes ‘Pueblo’ tray.

Cut glass lots offered in the July 2018 Auction at Brunk Auctions will be sold without pre-auction estimates. Many of the offerings are one-of-a-kind or extremely rare and have no comparables in the marketplace. Bidding will be available in-person, by phone, absentee, via the Brunk Auctions website, and live via the internet at Bidsquare.com.

Over 100 additional lots of cut glass will be offered exclusively on Bidsquare in an online-only auction ending on Sunday, July 15th.
