THE WORLD’S MOST RECENT PRICE GUIDE TO SNUFF BOTTLESAs with all forewords I have the luxury

of carrying on about some aspect of or

dilemma in Auctionland but rarely do we

get the opportunity to provide readers

with a very useful, current and interesting

price guide to a very particular category; in

this case snuff bottles. So I have taken this

opportunity to relieve you of my verbose

nature for a month and instead provide

you with this very useful price guide.

Leonard Joel was very recently engaged

to disperse 53 (fifty three) examples from

a single collection and below I have in

descending price order listed them for

your viewing and collecting pleasure!

or collection of Asian origina contact Liza

The Toorak Village Sculpture Exhibition runs across the entire month of May on

both the sidewalks and shop windows of Toorak Village between Ross Street and

Tintern Avenue.

The fi rst exhibition, although then known as the Toorak Village Festival of

Sculpture, took place in May 2002. It has since become a unique cultural event

attracting more sculptors, as well as many art collectors and visitors who enjoy

both browsing and buying.

Each year it continues to grow with increased enthusiasm from traders, artists &

the public that view & buy sculpture. Leonard Joel is exhibiting sculpture 99.

The support of the TVTA is the key to allowing the 93 established and emerging sculptors the opportunity of displaying their work in the window’s and streets of Toorak Village. The unique profile of this exhibition has made it a constant feature of the Annual Visual Arts program in Melbourne. In viewing the 2013 Exhibition it is important to understand the depth of talent that exists here in Australia and their use of changing materials to create these works. My special thanks to Carlo Pagoda for judging this years Awards.

TANzANITE ThE NEW kID oN ThE BLoCkOne of the most beautiful stones currently on the jewellery market

is tanzanite. The mineral was named by Tiffany & Co. after Tanzania,

the country in which it was discovered. Unlike other gemstones

Tanzanite was only discovered in the late 1960’s. Its marketing and

production was further stunted by government mismanagement.

However for the past twenty years the market has been established

and good quality tanzanite in a variety of sizes has been readily

available to jewellers globally. Although it is a softer stone than

sapphire or diamond, its crisp purple-blue has made it popular

with jewellery purchases over traditional gemstones. The Leonard

Joel June Fine Jewellery auction showcases an extensive range

of tanzanite jewellery in all price ranges. If you haven’t already

discovered the beauty of tanzanite, do so, it’s worth a look!

On Sunday the 19th of May 2013 Leonard Joel

undertook the dispersal of both historic and

important single-owner collections. Three very

distinct collections dominated the auction with

the Menzies family entrusting Leonard Joel with

the sale of a highly important sword and other

memorabilia owned by the late Sir Robert Menzies.

Additionally, the Ruddock collection comprising

antiquities and important sculpture attracted

strong international bidding and a very rare

collection of snuff bottles owned by a Melbourne

collector drew out the largest gathering of related

collectors Leonard Joel has ever seen.

The haunting cover lot marble bust from the

Ruddock collection titled God Unknown and

created in 1927 by the Lithuanian-American

Lovet-Lorski (lot 50) set the buoyant mood for the

auction and realised $21,960 (IBP), finally selling

to an interstate bidder.Similarly, a classical marble

bust of a woman from the same collection (lot 54)

went to an international collector and sold for a

staggering $39,040 (IBP) which was more than 10

times its conservative estimate. Lot 79, the Lloyd’s

Patriotic Fund sword from the Menzies family

collection, was eagerly anticipated and again went

to an international bidder for $91,500 (IBP). The

sword enjoyed a fascinating provenance having

originally been awarded to Charles Menzies for

bravery during the Napoleonic War who then

went on to found the city of Newcastle, New South

Wales.

The diverse and exotic nature of the single-

owner collections on offer was exemplified by

the 53 lot collection of snuff bottles that had been

accumulated by a Melbourne collector over the last

40 years. Lots 160 – 213 carried a combined low

estimate of $22,000 and after intense bidding in the

room and on the phones sold for a total of $89,000

(IBP), more than quadrupling

pre-sale estimates! John Albrecht,

Managing Director: “I had one London

collector on the phone that was blown

away by the prices and commented that

we were exceeding international prices

for similar pieces. This confirmed to me

once again that the antiques trade is now

largely globalised and that an efficient

market can be found anywhere where the

digital marketing and selling platform is

first rate.” While many of the snuff bottles

sold for many times their estimates the most

exciting price was realised for lot 164, a finely

rendered ivory bottle depicting a complex

scene of pagodas and figures in landscape. The

conservative estimate was set at $400 - $600 but

the hammer only fell when it reached $13,420

(IBP). The Sunday auction realised $851,000

(IBP) and marked the dispersal of now 17 distinct

single owner collections this financial year which

confirmed Leonard Joel’s status as the busiest

single-owner specialist in the country. For
