Clement Massier Jardinière Sits On Top For Kimballs – Antiques And The Arts Weekly

HATFIELD, MASS. — Kimballs Auction and Estate Services started off its November with its Antique Auction on November 3, which offered 425 lots of jewelry, fine art, Italian faience, Midcentury Modern pottery, Staffordshire, books, ephemera, toys and more from a variety of regional estates. Leading the sale was a Clement Massier redware jardinière and its matching pedestal, which sat pretty for $1,216 with premium. The jardinière itself, green in color, was decorated with a fleur de lis motif, while its pedestal contained what was most likely a griffin — a winged lion-like creature. With its pedestal, the work measured 40 inches tall. Additional highlights from this sale will be featured in an upcoming edition.
