Bares für Rares: Loetz Vase Climbs to €1,600, Vitrine Gets €950, Scale Goes for €210

Overview

• An over‑100‑year‑old Loetz Witwe vase, estimated at €800–€1,200 by expert Albert Maier, sold after a bidding duel to Wolfgang Pauritsch for €1,600, with Fabian Kahl’s late €1,650 offer coming after the deal closed.
• An oak vitrine brought by 80‑year‑old Horst Brühne, dated by Sven Deutschmanek to around 1905–1910 and valued at €500–€600, was purchased by Elke Velten‑Tönnies for €950.
• Sven Deutschmanek praised a subtle restoration on the vitrine that even he had not initially detected, noting otherwise solid condition despite minor warping.
• A Berkel shop scale from the 1920s–30s drew a firm valuation of €150–€250 after sellers floated €2,500, and it ultimately sold to Julian Schmitz‑Avila for €210.
• Dealer Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz refurbished a musical doll’s carriage he had bought for €350 into a fairground‑style display with a roof, planning a sale around €500 after about €100 in materials.
