Christies Auction in New York recently sold a Chinese bowl for $11.7 Million U. S. dollars.  The buyer was a man from China. It is refreshing to see that he is interested enough in his country's art to spend serious money to purchase it and have it return to his nation.

If only we could foster that interest in the United States for our countrymen to more seriously want to collect rare, early Pueblo pottery. There is probably not a Pueblo pot on the market priced at over $250,000, and most are not priced over $25,000, yet, there is no national urge to purchase them by some collectors and museums.

We do appreciate those clients who value historic pottery as we value it and we praise their efforts to collect and protect it for future generations.  Each historic Pueblo pottery vessel should be seen as a national treasure.   Their preservation should be a national priority for museums and individual collectors.

Thank you,-Al
