Esoteric Survey

Phillips seems to have cornered the market on amazing ceramics by Lucie Rie
and Hans Coper.  Seriously, where do they get all these? It seems like at every one of their auctions there's a stack of Coper and Rie.
Now they're bringing some high level Ken Price to market. 
Not just one either

It doesn't stop there. They also have some insane Natzlers.
