L&M-229; K-81; KM-Y-145a.4; WS-0819. Variety with straight "ping" and large "tze". Presenting a deep gray tone along with no evidence of any time in commerce, this choice piece from the turn-of-the-century offers some subtle water color hues composed of cobalt and goldenrod. Meanwhile, some hints of lustrous brilliance come alive when this enticing crown is cradled back and forth in one's hand.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
