 The March of the Penguins
'March of the penguins' vase march their way into an auction world record at Bonhams The popular film documentary -March of the Penguins - will not be the only penguin hit this year as more birds have also marched their way to success - in clay. A world record auction price was achieved for a vase by the renowned ceramicist, Sally Tuffin - titled -March of the Penguins - at Bonhams Design Sale today – Wednesday 7 December 2005. Competition was stiff for the novel penguin design, which attracted phone bidders as well as collectors in the room. Within a few minutes the vase had soared past its original estimate and finally sold for £15,720 - over six times its estimate. The vase also smashed the previous Sally Tuffin record for a Honey Bee Jar and Cover which fetched £11,500.

Bonhams had a Clarice Cliff, Moorcroft and Sally Tuffin Auction at London New Bond St in November. There were 20 or so lots of Sally's work all of which did very well. The top lot was a crab lidded pot which achieved £3700 plus commision, a impressive total of £4500. Many of the other lots went easily into four figure sums showing a strong stable growth in the interest in Sally Tuffin designs. |
