L&M-620; K-1288; KM-7; WS-1089. Tied for finest certified of the date with 11 other examples on the PCGS population report. An extremely elegant and excessively charming example of the popular type, this stunning near-Gem is dripping in a thorough coating of bold watercolor toning. The vivid collection of red, blue, green, and yellow combine into a handsome swirl that is highlighted by dazzlingly underlying luster and somewhat satiny finish. As a type, these pieces are often encountered with problems, making this example stand out and bringing the beauty of the design to an incredible height. This is an example where the assigned grade doesn't reflect the overall quality. A virtual certainty to be contested by many impassioned bidders.
Estimate: $3000 - $6000
