The dispersal of the Ehlen collection, which is offered without reserve, represents a unique opportunity to acquire pieces not seen on the art market for at least three decades. It crosses countries and continents and encompasses various materials, including porcelain, pottery, stoneware and glass. With a particular focus on 18th century German porcelain, there are rarities to discover from many of the key factories.
