Henri Vever Collection

[Ian B3HR2UH]

I have a kozuka which was in the Peter Hawkins collection . His catalogue says that it was in the Hawkshaw and Vever collections . It is indeed illustrated in the Hawkshaw catalogue .There were five Sotheby's sales of the Vever collection between 1972 and 1974 . I have the catalogues for the third and fourth sales and my kozuka is not in them . Does anyone have the catalogues for the first ( 1972 ) , second (1973 ) or fifth  ( 1974 ) sales who would be happy to look for my piece in them.

Thanks

Hi Ian, you might need to show us an image of the Kozuka so we know which one to look for, or can you give us the Hawkshaw catalogue number?

[Ian B3HR2UH]

Hi Dale , it is number 3682 in Hawkshaw and is illustrated on plate XXVI . The subject is three namako or sea cucumbers .

Yes that's it Dale . So if anyone has the Vever catalogue illustrating this piece I would love to hear from them.

The kozuka is not illustrated in the catalogues.
