Antique Questions Forum / Hollohaza porcelain violin by Hungarian artist Szász Endre

I found this Hollohaza porcelain violin by the famous Hungarian artist Szász Endre a couple of months ago on eBay. It had a reserve on it, and the highest bid was around $400 but the reserve was not met.

Now it is back up for sale, but NO reserve, and now it is at $200:

It will sell for sure, how high should I bid?

It seems that it is at least worth $400, since that was the last high bid in the first auction, do you think it is worth more than that?

Antique Questions Forum / Hollohaza porcelain violin by the Hungarian artist Szász Endre - is it rare?

I was looking for some Herend porcelain, when I stumbled on this Hollohaza porcelain violin by the famous Hungarian artist Szász Endre:

It is gorgeous, and I am seriously considering buying it.

What I want to know, is Hollohaza porcelain as good at holding it’s value as Herend porcelain?

Also, there is some history in the listing, but does anyone know if this is really as rare as it seems to be?
