Thank you for a glimpse of this astonishing collection!

This absolutely wonderful, not only because of the opportunity to see these wonderful pieces, but because of the knowledge and enthusiasm of the curator. I could have watched an hour of this and I hope the museum will make more of this collection available online.

So wonderful to see, wish we could have seen more of the collection. It’s such a shame that factory made mass produced products have destroyed so many “hand made” markets, skill sets slowly lost to time as fewer practice the craft.
