PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF ROBERT R. AND PAULINE S. HEITNER
(Lots 267 - 333)
The following sixty-three lots are the core of a collection lovingly formed over the past twenty-five years by Robert R. and Pauline S. Heitner.
Bob and Polly formed their collection of primarily English and French porcelain with an eye towards buying what they liked. Although they sought the advice of London dealers such as Armin Allen, Haughton Antiques, Klaber & Klaber and Errol Manners, they could not be talked into buying anything that did not appeal to both of them. Through the years, their combined knowledge and discerning eyes led to the development of close friendships with the dealers whose goods they so avidly sought and with whom they so enjoyed discussing pieces already owned, as well as potential purchases.
The Heitners were true collectors in that they bought what they liked rather than following a pattern; in that they collected a wide range of objects rather than specializing in a narrow spectrum. They took great pleasure from their collection and enjoyed showing it and discussing it with guests at their apartment in Chicago. Despite many years of illness, Bob and Polly came to London every June for The International Ceramics Fair & Seminar, often dining at the Haughton's home with other collectors of their generation.
Bob and Polly Heitner's porcelain collection and the debates and discussions they had with other collectors and dealers was obviously a great source of joy. Their family hopes that by dispersing the fruits of their labors at auction, others like them will have the same opportunity to learn and to enjoy the products of ages past.
