THE WORLD’S MOST RECENT PRICE GUIDE TO SNUFF BOTTLESAs with all forewords I have the luxury
of carrying on about some aspect of or
dilemma in Auctionland but rarely do we
get the opportunity to provide readers
with a very useful, current and interesting
price guide to a very particular category; in
this case snuff bottles. So I have taken this
opportunity to relieve you of my verbose
nature for a month and instead provide
you with this very useful price guide.
Leonard Joel was very recently engaged
to disperse 53 (fifty three) examples from
a single collection and below I have in
descending price order listed them for
your viewing and collecting pleasure!

The Toorak Village Sculpture Exhibition runs across the entire month of May on
both the sidewalks and shop windows of Toorak Village between Ross Street and
Tintern Avenue.
The fi rst exhibition, although then known as the Toorak Village Festival of
Sculpture, took place in May 2002. It has since become a unique cultural event
attracting more sculptors, as well as many art collectors and visitors who enjoy
both browsing and buying.
Each year it continues to grow with increased enthusiasm from traders, artists &
the public that view & buy sculpture. Leonard Joel is exhibiting sculpture 99.

The support of the TVTA is the key to allowing the 93 established and emerging sculptors the opportunity of displaying their work in the window’s and streets of Toorak Village. The unique profile of this exhibition has made it a constant feature of the Annual Visual Arts program in Melbourne. In viewing the 2013 Exhibition it is important to understand the depth of talent that exists here in Australia and their use of changing materials to create these works. My special thanks to Carlo Pagoda for judging this years Awards.

TANzANITE ThE NEW kID oN ThE BLoCkOne of the most beautiful stones currently on the jewellery market
is tanzanite. The mineral was named by Tiffany & Co. after Tanzania,
the country in which it was discovered. Unlike other gemstones
Tanzanite was only discovered in the late 1960’s. Its marketing and
production was further stunted by government mismanagement.
However for the past twenty years the market has been established
and good quality tanzanite in a variety of sizes has been readily
available to jewellers globally. Although it is a softer stone than
sapphire or diamond, its crisp purple-blue has made it popular
with jewellery purchases over traditional gemstones. The Leonard
Joel June Fine Jewellery auction showcases an extensive range
of tanzanite jewellery in all price ranges. If you haven’t already
discovered the beauty of tanzanite, do so, it’s worth a look!

On Sunday the 19th of May 2013 Leonard Joel
undertook the dispersal of both historic and
important single-owner collections. Three very
distinct collections dominated the auction with
the Menzies family entrusting Leonard Joel with
the sale of a highly important sword and other
memorabilia owned by the late Sir Robert Menzies.
Additionally, the Ruddock collection comprising
antiquities and important sculpture attracted
strong international bidding and a very rare
collection of snuff bottles owned by a Melbourne
collector drew out the largest gathering of related
collectors Leonard Joel has ever seen.
The haunting cover lot marble bust from the
Ruddock collection titled God Unknown and
created in 1927 by the Lithuanian-American
Lovet-Lorski (lot 50) set the buoyant mood for the
auction and realised $21,960 (IBP), finally selling
to an interstate bidder.Similarly, a classical marble
bust of a woman from the same collection (lot 54)
went to an international collector and sold for a
staggering $39,040 (IBP) which was more than 10
times its conservative estimate. Lot 79, the Lloyd’s
Patriotic Fund sword from the Menzies family
collection, was eagerly anticipated and again went
to an international bidder for $91,500 (IBP). The
sword enjoyed a fascinating provenance having
originally been awarded to Charles Menzies for
bravery during the Napoleonic War who then
went on to found the city of Newcastle, New South
Wales.
The diverse and exotic nature of the single-
owner collections on offer was exemplified by
the 53 lot collection of snuff bottles that had been
accumulated by a Melbourne collector over the last
40 years. Lots 160 – 213 carried a combined low
estimate of $22,000 and after intense bidding in the
room and on the phones sold for a total of $89,000
(IBP), more than quadrupling
pre-sale estimates! John Albrecht,
Managing Director: “I had one London
collector on the phone that was blown
away by the prices and commented that
we were exceeding international prices
for similar pieces. This confirmed to me
once again that the antiques trade is now
largely globalised and that an efficient
market can be found anywhere where the
digital marketing and selling platform is
first rate.” While many of the snuff bottles
sold for many times their estimates the most
exciting price was realised for lot 164, a finely
rendered ivory bottle depicting a complex
scene of pagodas and figures in landscape. The
conservative estimate was set at $400 - $600 but
