Special notice

Christie's charges a Buyer's premium calculated at 23.205% of the hammer price for each lot with a value up to €110,000. If the hammer price of a lot exceeds €110,000 then the premium for the lot is calculated at 23.205% of the first €110,000 plus 11.9% of any amount in excess of €110,000. Buyer's Premium is calculated on this basis for each lot individually.

Lot Essay

See J. Bastian, La faïence de Strasbourg, Rennes, 1982, p.5 whereby the author states that the unmarked production of the Hannongs between 1721 and 1754 is very difficult to differentiate from other faience factories, notably German.
