Who says you need the internet? Dave Rowe of Rowes Auction Service sold a cobalt decorated stoneware mug for $10,000 on Oct. 14. The company doesnt typically hold sales on a Monday, typically every Thursday. It came from the estate of dealer Nancy Noll and sold to the trade. Mint condition, many thought it was made at the Cowden & Wilcox pottery in Harrisburg. The decoration helps lead that theory. The form is quite rare for the prolific 19th century pottery firm. Rowes holds live in-person only sales and has no buyers premium. There is no internet bidding. They are located at 2505 Ritner Highway, Carlisle, Pa.
