If it's true 3 pieces of English porcelain predate Boettger's by about 100 years - apparently, the piece in Buck House mysteriously disappeared - I'd hazard a guess Ehrenfried Walter von Tschirnhaus purchased the process on one of his visits. Like Leibniz, whom he knew at the Royal Society, this gentleman was also a sneaky type & as early as 1704 he showed "porcelan" to Leibniz's secretary & so one naturally asks: where did it come from?
Extremely well presented and beautiful porcelain collection.
Very enlightening - I will have to return again to the Wallace collection as there's always something new to be seen
Loved all of the information. Sevres pieces are beautiful!
Just bought her magnificent volumes on Madame de Pompadour > wonderful.
Gran conocedora sobre el tema de Sevres Porcelain. El libro qe escribió es fabuloso.
More please !
lucky attendees who got to touch those items first hand!
