Dean Ellis (New York, 1920 - 2009) "Marine Life of Palau" Signed lower left. Original Tempera Painting on Masonite. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which appeared on the Fleetwood Mint Stamps of the World Collectors Panel for the Marine Life of Palau stamps issued in 1985. The magnificent waters of Palau are home to numerous species of mollusks with shells of striking beauty and color. Formed from mineral salts absorbed by the animal, each shell is a unique specimen that can never be duplicated. Size, color, texture and shape are determined by the mollusk species itself, what it feeds on, and its particular marine habitat. Seashells are still used in time-honored ways as jewelry, decorative ornaments and tools, and are often prized by collectors all over the world for their diversity and elegant beauty. Image Size: 21.5 x 17 in. Overall Size: 24 x 19.5 in. Unframed. (B09943)

A wonderful example of a carburetted, dry-sump, UK car that has been maintained well throughout its life.CEH 677T dates from March 1978 and has been enjoyed by its present owner since July 2011Considerable sums have been invested to restore the 308’s bodywork to its former gloryRepair panels to lower parts of door skins and door casings, lower parts of front wings between wheel arches and doors and the wheel archesAt 74,000 miles, a major engine and gearbox rebuild was carried out by Italia AutosportThis work included, new valves (all-steel valves replacing the original sodium-filled inlet valves), new valve guides and valve stem oil seals, valve seats re-cut, and the cylinder heads skimmedNew liners, pistons and rings, main bearings and big-end shells were fitted. New synchro-rings were fitted to all gears and all timing belts, clutch, HT-leads and various smaller items including fastenings and seals were all replacedNow showing 76,000 miles and good to go, it’s accompanied by its original toolkit and jack in their respective leather bags, the original Driver’s Handbook and the Service book which displays six service stamps from 1978 when the car was sold new until 1982This is a wonderful example of a carburetted, dry-sump, UK car that has been maintained well throughout its lifeOfficially introduced at the Paris Salon in October 1975, the 308 GTB’s styling was created by Pininfarina. The stunning two-seat coachwork was all new but incorporated some of the old magic by blending aspects of the Dino 206/246 with the later 365 GT4/BB. Styling cues from the Boxer were the dihedral groove at bumper level splitting top and bottom, the plunging nose and the sail panels reaching back to meet a shallower spoiler, whilst the conical side air intakes and recessed concave rear window were familiar from the Dino. The 308 GTB employed a tubular steel chassis with independent coil spring/wishbone suspension front and rear, complemented by anti-roll bars, adjustable dampers and powerful disc brakes. At its heart was a Formula One-derived, all-alloy, quad-camshaft, 3.0-litre V8 engine, allied to a transversely mounted five-speed gearbox.CEH 677T dates from March 1978 and has been enjoyed by just six owners, its present since July 2011. During our custodian’s ownership, considerable sums of money have been invested to restore the 308’s bodywork and bring it back to its former glory, including repair panels to lower parts of door skins and door casings, lower parts of front wings between wheel arches and doors and repairs to the wheel arches.All of this work carried out to a very high standard by Chris Gregory in Knaresborough and a full photographic record is in the car’s history file.Italia Autosport in Meltham were entrusted with the mechanical aspects of returning the Ferrari to top form and, at 74,000 miles, a major engine and gearbox rebuild was carried out by John Pogson’s team.This work included, new valves (all-steel valves replacing the original sodium-filled inlet valves), new valve guides and valve stem oil seals, valve seats re-cut, and the cylinder heads skimmed.No significant bore wear was found but the cylinder liners had belled out at their bases, therefore new liners, pistons and rings were fitted. None of the crankshaft journals was scored but new main bearing, and big-end shells were fitted in line with good engineering practice. New synchro-rings were fitted to all gears in the gearbox although none of them were worn out significantly. All timing belts, clutch, HT leads and various smaller items including fastenings and seals were all replaced at the time of the build as you would expect from such experienced engineers.Currently showing 76,000 miles, this lovely 308 is good to go. It’s accompanied by its original toolkit and jack in their respective leather bags, the original Driver’s Handbook and the Service book which displays 6 service stamps from 1978 when the car was sold new until 1982. All the invoices for service, repairs and MOTs from 1982 up to the present time are contained in a large lever-arch file.Genuine UK right-hand drive 308GTBs are becoming increasingly rare on today’s roads and after all the restoration work has been carried out, all a new owner has to do is jump in and enjoy the benefit of someone else’s efforts.This is a wonderful example of a carburetted, dry-sump, UK car that has been maintained well throughout its life.*Forming part of A Sale of Ferraris in association with Ferrari Owners' Club of Great Britain, the buyer of this lot will be entitled to one years free membership with Ferrari Owners Club of Great Britain* SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 308 GTBYear: 1978Chassis Number: 24823Registration Number: 24823Transmission: ManualEngine Number: F106A021Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 76500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

OGAWA HARITSU (RITSUO): A LARGE AND IMPRESSIVE POLYCHROME GLAZED CERAMIC IREMONO (BOX) AND COVERAttributed to Ogawa Haritsu (Ritsuo, 1663-1747), signed on the original wood box Haritsu saku kaizukushiJapan, first half of 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Superbly modeled in the form of a cluster of shells, the largest an upturned awabi (abalone) and the other a sazae (horned turban) resting against a closed clam encrusted with barnacles, each with a separately fashioned lid decorated with different varieties of crustacea interspersed with seaweed.With the original wood awasebako (fitted box), with two paper labels, inscribed Haritsu saku kaizukushi (‘Made by Haritsu. Assortment of shells’).HEIGHT 13 cm, WIDTH 32 cm, DEPTH 27.5 cmCondition: Excellent condition with only minor surface wear. Provenance: British private collection, formerly with Gregg Baker.Ogawa Haritsu (formerly often referred to outside Japan by his alternative name of Ritsuo) was among the first Japanese lacquer artists to establish an independent reputation outside of the hereditary craft dynasties of Kyoto, Edo, and Kanazawa. Following an early career as a haiku poet, he is thought to have first turned his attention to lacquer design in middle age and soon attracted a wide following thanks to his novel choice of subject matter and pioneering and imaginative use of unusual materials; at some point after 1710 he was hired by Tsugaru Nobuhisa (1669-1747), lord of a domain in northern Japan, for whom he worked until 1731.In lacquer, he introduced a vocabulary of new materials not usually associated with lacquer artists such as glazed ceramic pieces, mother-of-pearl and lead. Haritsu also mastered the technique of making lacquer surfaces appear to resemble other materials such as bronze, tile, ink sticks and pottery, a style of decoration which became known as Haritsu saiku.Shells in combination with seaweed were a favored subject of Ogawa Haritsu and his followers, see for example a wood bunko decorated with very similar ceramic shells recently sold at Bonhams, Fine Japanese and Korean Art, 17 March 2021, New York, lot 594 (sold for 27,812 USD).The applied glazes in the present example are certainly emulative of lacquer, being a key feature of Ogawa Haritsu’s designs. The combination of elements flow over seamlessly into one another making it rather difficult to decide whether an individual decorative element is glazed or lacquered.
