Opera Collectibles: Porcelain Figurines and More September 17 2025

We just acquired a large collection of opera porcelain figurines and other collectibles (medals, plates, cups and more). The collection was part of the estate from the late Roger Gross, a famous autograph dealer whose autograph collection and inventory we purchased ten years ago.

The new acquisition includes over 70 pieces, with many ceramic and fine porcelain figurines of opera characters, and some are recognizable historical singers (Fedor Chaliapin, Jenny Lind, Maria Callas, etc). It also includes composer figurines, cups, plates and other memorabilia.

We created a new section inside our site to host these new inventory: Opera Figurines. 

Here below are some examples of these items, just added to our website (please click on each one of them to go to the actual listing and see more information and photos).
