MOUNT CRAWFORD, VA. — An important Shenandoah Valley of Virginia cobalt-decorated covered stoneware sugar bowl, made by Andrew Coffman (1795-1853) in Rockingham County, circa 1840-53, was the top seller in a four-day sale conducted by Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates, June 19-22. One of just three signed examples by Coffman known but of unusual form and decoration, the bowl had been recently discovered in a box lot in an estate auction. Estimated at $10/20,000, the 3¾-inch-tall bowl sold to a private Virginia collector, bidding in the room, for $34,800, including buyer’s premium. Other highlights of the additional 2,200 lots offered, including glass, lighting, silver, textiles, ceramics, Americana and the collection of Katherine “Kitty Sue” Pease, will be featured in an upcoming issue.
