The list of the second group of Bill's collection going to be auctioned on eBay...
The first offering of Bill Younger’s auctioned pieces on eBay was a fantastic success. Thank you all so very much.
After much enthusiastic feedback, we are glad to offer you another chance to own some sought after, rare, and in some cases, one of a kind lighthouses from Bill’s Private collection
There are some very interesting pieces this week. There are several paint masters, painted by Christiane Hayles, who was Harbour Lights principal master painter for many years. Christiane would only paint two identical copies of a new sculpture so these paint masters, also known as, artist originals are very rare.
Some years ago my father and Bill Younger whilst wassailing in a pub, hatched a plan to expand the Harbour Lights Collection into England. The idea was for my father, John Hine, to produce special Harbour Lights pieces in his small workshop in Wales. A tiny production run was done of the 12 Pharos Collection Little Lights and a test run of the larger limited edition Pharos pieces. These pieces were primarily sold to gift shops around the UK. Shortly after the initial production run, my father’s small pottery received some large orders for his main collection and production was put on hold for the Harbour Lights pieces and sadly was never revived. Available in this auction is a complete set of the 12 Pharos Collection Little Lights and four Limited Edition Pharos AP pieces that were part of this early test production.
There are several Edition #1’s, two Golds and a white tipped Cape Hatteras (very rare). Please see the complete list of pieces below.
These pieces will be posted on eBay on Sunday, February 24th using Jackie’s auction page. Her eBay handle is "Triplegemini". To find the auctions you can type "Bill Younger’s Harbour Lights" in the eBay search bar.
