And one of my favourite items of the day, a riveted dish!
This wreck contained pots made in Jingzhedhen in about 1725, which have become fused in the heat of a raging fire.
In great contrast to the refined white pots, the result of shipwrecks and fires.... this one is from the 14th century Turiang shipwreck off the east coast of Malaysia.
Really beautiful example of early Meissen porcelain, elegant proportions and fine details.
Fabulously elaborate, yet retaining simplicity, this is an 18th Century jar from Mennecy, which was used to hold balms and ointments.
This is so familiar, I grew up with this pottery in my Grandparents house, they didn't have paintings, Moorcroft was seen as the most precious treasures to own. The blue crockery was used as daily ware, it lived on a small white painted dresser in the kitchen.
