- 19th century English oil of still life of fruit, German Stein with silver lidBy CHARLES THOMAS BALELocated in Woodbury, CTOutstanding English 19th century still life of fruit, a German Stein with silver top in an interior. Charles Thomas Bale was born in Soho, London in 1849, the son of Thomas Bale, a basket maker. His older brother Thomas Charles Bale (1831-1899) was an artist and picture restorer.
