This is so good it could be one of ours. But it isn't, it is coming up for auction at the New Orleans Auction Galleries, Inc. in early October.

CdT - Only if the piece is exceptional and rare. Normally we only buy from collections. Provenance is very important to us.
This is a great piece. But, I am almost positive it is originally from here. Buying it would be the same as sending coals to Newcastle (once the centre for coal mining in the UK).
I forwarded this on to MB... Has he contacted you yet?
Not yet, but I would certainly recommend buying it. The link will take him directly to the auction house home page.
