What a wonderful view given by Dame Rosalind Savill of her favorite Sèvres object at the Gardiner. I will share the link with contemporary makers and collectors. Martha

Magnificent! Thank you

Beautiful object, but the Antiques Roadshow would knock off a lot of the value because of the big crack. Enjoyable and informative video.

Years ago I heard there are 3 hard-paste porcelain pieces in England, which predate Boettger's & Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus's earliest stuff by 100 or so years. One piece of this mysteriously disappeared from Buck House, so I read. As a German mathematician, physicist, physician, and philosopher - a friend of Leibniz no less - I recently learned von T. was a visitor to the Royal Society - hence, on realizing precisely how slippery & slithery Leibniz & von T. were, I was wondering if the latter could have purchased or nicked the formula [a common occurrence apparently in the pottery trade]. I still insist that modern hard-paste porcelain might be English - so, do you know anything about the 3 - albeit, now only 2 - pieces and their origins? PS As an artist in Italy it's very nice to listen to your lectures & as I'm still building my Art Library the pottery & porcelain sections expands frequently.
