Leon Bureau , alternate inscriptions Bureau, L Bueau or Bureaud , 1866 - 1906. All bronze sculpture of very definitive detail, not a recast. Circa somewhere between 1896 and 1906. Signed by … Leon Bureau , alternate inscriptions Bureau, L Bueau or Bureaud , 1866 - 1906. All bronze sculpture of very definitive detail, not a recast. Circa somewhere between 1896 and 1906. Signed by both Bureau and Tiffany & co, which would have been at the 15 Union Street address in New York. Bureaud studied at Ecole des Beaux - Arts , Paris, France and studied under Alexandre Falguiere. From the young age of 18 Leon was already exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Francais in Paris. Buread won a Gold Medal at the 1900 Paris Exhibition for his bronzes. After 1900 he was rather special commissioned to do Equestrian groups for elite horse owners. And to sandwich it all in , was commissioned by Tiffany & Co to produce this bronze of a nesting grouse. Though pheasants are known by Bureaud , this appears to be a grouse as mentioned , the former owner said it was a Partridge , so it might be one of those three, but if a pheasant , it would be a baby one at that. Measures 6 " by 4 " by 91/2 " high. Beautiful condition , with some brassoed sections that could require fine tuning. Due to Bureaud's short life span, all examples by this artist are considered rare. His record price stands at about $38,000.00 USD for a horse grouping. Leon Bureaud should easily be recognized as a top 20 French Animalier. Offers considered , cash and trade for something also possible on this one . There has been a sudden surge for fine bronzes, modern art , rare art glass and the like . I barely bid this spectacular piece into inventory. A rare item , possibly unique. Price: $2500.00 USD

Measures 7 1/2 " high, 4 1/2 ' at the base and 2 1/2 " at the top. Marked 20967 and an " I " . Heliosine pottery is short form for iridized pottery of the art nouveau era. Heliosine ware is generally rarer than iridized glass from the same time period. The finish and chemical salts used are somewhat similar to those used on glass. Colours will vary with base pottery and temperature of the kilns. This pottery type is still somewhat underrated and is rather difficult to shop for in any type of quantity. Determining the actual manufacturers of this style can be rather difficult as pieces are rather poorly or under marked. High quality standards are quite obvious and can be judged by handling as many pieces as possible. Consistent , uniform decoration and vibrant colors along with the shape of the vessel are all important in determining values. Offers considered. ( TPAC CODE 325111999 ) Price: $425.00 USD

Measures 14 1/2 " high , 8 " diameter at the bottom and 4 1/2 " diameter at the top. Two piece casting construction , the tentacle section is one piece and the bulb is another casting.
