at a small city or regional auction. The auctioneers did a great job of marketing surely. But a local big city auction I watch struggles to sell most stuff, it's common to see no bids. Not sure if they're strictly online. Maybe it's the stoneware, that is popular, fragile (that restricts supply over time) and it was a large piece.
