 Dennis Chinawork’s Auction Preview: In 2005 Dennis Chinawork’s ‘March of the Penguins’ made a staggering hammer price of £13,100 at Bonham’s Design Sale in London. This world-record price was an astonishing achievement for a contemporary British potter, and so, it is hoped, that once again the talents and exquisite workmanship of Sally Tuffin and her team will be reflected in the prices achieved at this year’s Bonham’s sale to be held on 6th Decembe.
