All forms of bidding will be available, including live via the Internet through LiveAuctioneers. Set of eight Russian Gardner porcelain plates, estimate $40K-$60K (PRNewsFoto/LiveAuctioneers) Italian 'Delacorte' clock, 18K gold & lapis lazuli, estimate $15K-$20K (PRNewsFoto/LiveAuctioneers) The featured collection includes 18th-century Russian Imperial porcelain, Chinese antiques, early Russian and Greek icons, and some of the most interesting objects the gallery's specialists have ever seen. The Russian Imperial porcelain was made by the Gardner Factory between 1778 and 1780 for the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky. The service will be offered in three consecutive lots: Lot 106 with eight plates, Lot 107 with eight bowls, and Lot 108 with a pair of reticulated fruit bowls. Additionally, Lot 105 includes a group of three Gardner cups and covers, one set being from the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky service. Gardner porcelain is highly desirable, especially to Russian collectors. "The porcelain is of exquisite quality," said AGOPB partner Leslie Baker.

Catherine the Great was so impressed by the Gardner factory, she commissioned three large services in 1777." Several early Greek icons are found in the featured collection, as well. Lot 156 is a 17th/18th-century triptych painted with the Virgin and Child and flanked by St. George and St. Demetrius, while Lot 157, is a 17th-century icon depicting a trinity of angels seated around a table with holy figures making offerings.
