Auction ResultHeart-Racing Valentine’s Day Auction Results
Looking for some Valentine's Day inspiration or for the perfect Valentine's Day gift for your sweetheart this year? Sometimes the most exceptional love tokens appear in unexpected places - like under the auction gavel! Take heart and check out these recent - and totally terrific - Valentine's Day themed auction results that caught the eye of the Auction Daily editorial team! 2031: On November 8, 2025, Ladenburger Spielzeugauktion GmbH of Ladenburg, Germany, sold lot #2031, a Steiff Cupid Kewpie prototype doll, for €8,060. Cupid is universally recognized as a Valentine's Day ambassador, and is often pictured as a chubby, winged, and playful toddler. On November 8, 2025, Ladenburger Spielzeugauktion GmbH of Ladenburg, Germany, sold lot #2031, a Steiff Cupid Kewpie prototype doll. Estimated at €850-€1,700, it realized €8,060. This fully jointed, naked doll from 1913 was made from felt and measured 37 cm tall. It featured sideways glancing eyes; small, dimensional ears; painted cheeks and lips; and small felt wings on its back shoulders. It came directly from the Steiff archives in Giengen, Germany and was sold with its original Steiff archive tag. This doll, which never went into production at Steiff, is likely based on artist Rose O'Neill's Kewpie cartoon characters. These impish children debuted in the magazine Ladies' Home Journal in 1909. By 1913, O'Neill's Kewpies were being manufactured as dolls and other playthings and took the world by storm. Steiff always kept an eye out for popular cultural trends for possible new product designs and introductions. As such, it was no surprise that the German company produced a Kewpie style doll to try and capture some of this business. It is not known why this doll did not go into production, but it is possible that licensing issues got in the way. 0134: On September 3, 2025, William Smith Auctions of Plainfield, NH, sold lot #0134, a 20th century, double sided Sailor's Valentine, for $3,750.

Santa Claus Chocolate Mold An Anton Reiche showpiece Santa Claus chocolate mold was estimated at USD 500 to $700 and sold for $18,750 at Leonard Auction of Addison, IL's March 2024 Online Auction. This fully dimensional Santa figure was hallmarked and stamped #11166. The mold measured 31.5 inches by 11 inches by eight inches overall, with separate head, arm, and cage components. Santa wore his traditional garb including an oversized, fur-trimmed hat and coat, big boots, and a thick belt. Chocolate molds came into fashion in the 19th century, when the proper proportions of ingredients that go into solid chocolate candy were finally established. Before then, most chocolate was consumed as a liquid. Friedrich Anton Reiche began producing candy molds in 1888 in Dresden, Germany. In the early 20th century, the company employed about 2,000 workers and became known for its nickel-coated sheet metal molds. These were produced in a spectrum of sizes and novel forms. At the height of its business, the company's catalog contained nearly 50,000 different products. A Santa Claus hatpin holder was estimated at $1,500 to $2,000 and sold for $9,600.

Auction PreviewLimoges Porcelain Featured in Woody Auction’s Online Antiques Sale
In the late 18th century, miners discovered deposits of kaolin just south of Limoges in west-central France. Limoges craftspeople mixed this clay mineral with quartz and feldspar to create hard-paste porcelain. Recognized for its high-quality standards and expert craftsmanship, Limoges porcelain gradually earned attention and consumer demand. A display at the 1925 Paris International Exhibition of Decorative Art secured Limoges porcelain’s position as one of the finest types in the world. A set of seven Limoges porcelain mugs and a tankard will soon be available with Woody Auction. All six mugs measure 5.5 inches tall with hand-painted fruit accents. The tankard has a blackberry decoration and heavy gold trim. The handle of each piece resembles a dragon.

Auction PreviewAmerican & Brilliant Period Cut Glass Auction
Cut glass can be traced back to 1,500 B.C. Egyptian vessels. In the United States, the first glassmaking factory was established in at Jamestown, Virginia in 1608. However, it was not until 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia that American brilliant-cut glass garnered attention. By the end of the 19th century, cut glass became a symbol of elegance and leisure. The high labor cost involved in the manufacture made it a luxury item. With the outbreak of World War I, the industry could not bear such high labor costs, ending the era of cut glass. The upcoming American & Brilliant Period Cut Glass Auction, presented by Woody Auction, offers over 450 lots of cut glass from the private collection of Mike and Mary Ann Callahan. Highlighted in the sale is a vase by Sinclaire. Founded in 1904 in New York, the company is known for its geometric and engraved patterns. The available vase bears a holly pattern with crosscut diamond bands. A pair of table lamps by G.W. Huntley Company is also among the key lots, each with fan motifs and pattern cut bases. Ice cream trays, rose bowls, and biscuit jars are also available. Browse the entire collection and register to bid online on LiveAuctioneers.
