Another
auction record for a tray: $27,000 for a stunning pattern by
Hawkes "Coronet". There appears to be a disconnect between the current
economic conditions and the high prices received for fine quality and
rare American Brilliant Cut Glass at auction. Contrary to the
trends in other collecting venues, high end pieces did a great job of
holding their value.
