reeman’s is pleased to share Japanese, Chinese, and Korean Ceramics and works of art from the Estate of Jerry Ettelman. This collection is most notable for Japanese pieces suitable for tea ceremonies, particularly of a “wabicha” sensibility. Followers of wabicha value those tea caddies, water vessels and dishes which evoke a sense of the passage of time, the beauty in the irregularity of nature, and an appreciation of the rustic or imperfect form. In addition, items appropriated from other cultures and periods are admired for their understated novelty and in juxtaposition with the other objects collected for the tea gathering. Ettelman was fascinated with these pieces and his meticulous notes reveal when and where most of the works were acquired, commentary by Ettelman himself, as well as later notes revealing the thoughts of other connoisseurs with whom he shared these objects.

The auctioneer will not mistake a random gesture for a bid. By phone A limited number of telephone lines are available for bidding by phone through a Freeman’s representative. Phone lines must be reserved in advance. Requests must be submitted no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled start of the sale.

Removal of Purchases Deliveries will not be made during the time of the sale unless otherwise indicated by the auctioneer.

Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser.

Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

In writing Bid forms are available in the sale room and at the back of the catalogue. These should be submitted in person, by mail or by fax no later than one hour prior to the scheduled start of the sale. The auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to the limit.
