Dual Estate Auction: 25+ Longaberger Baskets & Rare Rowe Pottery Collection
Central Indiana Estate Treasures: Longaberger & Rowe Pottery Collector's Auction
Discover Two Lifetimes of Treasured Collections
When two Central Indiana families entrust you with decades of memories, every basket tells a story and every piece of pottery holds meaning. This January, Burgess Auctions presents a rare opportunity to acquire from two distinct estate collections that share one thing in common: a passion for American-made craftsmanship.
The Longaberger Legacy
Over 25 handwoven Longaberger baskets from Dresden, Ohio span nearly two decades of collecting—from a treasured 1986 Two-Pie Basket with Heart Lid to carefully preserved pieces from the 1990s and early 2000s. These aren't just baskets; they're pieces of American craftsmanship history, each signed, dated, and ready for their next chapter. Whether you're completing your collection or discovering Longaberger for the first time, this depth of selection is rarely seen in a single auction.
Rowe Pottery Works Rarities
Complementing the Longaberger collection are 18+ pieces of authentic Rowe Pottery Works stoneware from Cambridge, Wisconsin. Dating from 1987 to 2004, this collection includes herb keepers, crocks with heart designs, water dispensers, butter crocks, and distinctive stoneware pieces that defined Midwest pottery excellence. Many pieces are signed and dated—a collector's dream for those who appreciate the artistry of salt-glazed stoneware.
Beyond the Collections
These estates offer much more than their signature pieces. You'll find quality furniture including a complete Davis International bedroom set, home décor ranging from quilted linens to framed art, kitchen essentials from Cuisinart to cast iron, premium audio equipment featuring Harman Kardon and Pioneer components, and even a Ninja Air Fryer for the modern home.
Your Opportunity Awaits
With 231 lots closing Sunday, January 18th at 7:00 PM, this online-only auction brings two Central Indiana estates directly to bidders nationwide.
