Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2012 Christies in London held the auction The Japanese Aesthetic, which included the work Boat, Willow Tree and Duck under Clouds by Bernard Leach. The price achieved of GBP 562.50 (€ 692.94) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bernard Leach achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Vase With 'Leaping Fish' Design in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 38,346.80).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Japanese Aesthetic durch, in der auch die Arbeit Boat, Willow Tree and Duck under Clouds von Bernard Leach zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 562,50 (€ 692,94) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bernard Leach erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Vase With 'Leaping Fish' Design im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.500,00 (€ 38.346,80).
