Overview

• A Dachboden-found Otto Müller chalk lithograph sold to dealer Fabian Kahl for €30,500, making it one of the show's costlier transactions.
• Dealers repeatedly topped appraisals, including Kahl paying €3,200 for a Meissen jewelry casket estimated at €1,800–€2,100, while a prized Loetz Jugendstil vase went to Wolfgang Pauritsch for €1,600 after a rival bid came too late.
• Authenticity and dating checks reshaped expectations, as an Elkington silver set lacked the hallmark for sterling and was valued at €800–€1,000, and a porcelain cockatoo thought to be generations old was identified as a 1977 piece.
• Seller withdrawals punctuated several segments, with one couple exiting after the silver downgrade and another refusing to sell Meissen figures when their €12,000 ask met a €2,800–€3,100 valuation.
• Items continued notable post-show journeys, with a school motor model resold by buyer Jos van Katwijk to a U.S. collector and historic letters later placed in a city museum, while ZDF added an on-screen notice clarifying an appraisal predated artist Günther Uecker’s death.
