Aronson …Lavish Tulipières

tulipieres a

It has been over 15 years ago that i met Mr. Aronson sr., an antique dealer with whom my parents bought a small piece of antique. It came with a certificate and after my father his death, me and my sister decided to contact this antique dealer who wrote and signed the certificate. He came to look at the small piece of furniture…… Evaluated it once again and came to the conclusion that the top was replaced and the value was less than 15% of its original value paid for. This was the instant i lost confidence in antique dealers permanently. The small dresser now graces are home as a souvenir to my parentst and i must say it blends perfectly well with the classic moderns and paintings we have in our living room. As said i lost confidence in antique dealers, but i can not but admire the two beautiful Tulip vases Aronson has brought up for sale in 2016. With it came a very nice , very well published book on the history of ( these two) Tulipieres and Tulip vases in general. The book is now available at www.ftn-books.com

the M.C. Escher vase

schermafbeelding-2017-01-06-om-12-14-53

It must have been 20 years ago that the first of the limited edition M.C. Escher oval vases was published by Cordon Art. Cordon Art are the rightful representatives and copyright holders for all the works by M.C. Escher and they decided to expand this right with several editions. Of course there was the sphere which is in high demand nowadays, but there was also the very first oval vase. The Vase was produced by Schoonhoven ceramics and came with a certificate of authenticity. A limited edition of only 450 copies and all vases signed with a signature of M.C. Escher and hand numbered on the vase itself. A beautiful object and an object worthy of the design of M.C. Escher. The vase sold out quickly and inspired Cordon Art to launch several other ceramic products. Among them a plate , a ceramic box and a newly designed vase. You can imagine that these were sold out within a year or so.

All the above products were at one time for sale at www.ftn-books.com

The succes of the above products meant the edition of  another vase and this being the last one of the early vases i know of. This vase was bought and sold by me several times and now the end of my inventory is near. I only have 2 vases left of this beautiful “SKY and WATER vase”. A vase from a limited edition of 450 copies, signed with a (printed) signature, hand numbered and with certificate of Authenticity in its original box. Only this weekend the price will still be USD 495,–, after the 9th of February 2017 the vase will be USD 795,–
