Thanks, that was a really fascinating video. I've always admired the affects of supersaturated glazes without knowing what it is, it's nice to know what they are.
Really wish I could visit the V & A and other museums around the world. And in the meantime, I wish in-depth digital tours were available. I’ve been exploring books from some library’s digital collections, where they’ve photographed each page, so we can explore all kinds of texts on all kinds of subjects. I’ve come across the most amazing treasures, from Papyrus manuscripts from 400 BCE, to Medieval manuscripts & illuminated texts, to books on all kinds of fascinating subjects. Seeing them in their aged state, with mildew spots, water stains, and lovely cinnamon coloured pages feels a lot like browsing the dusty basement in search of treasure! And with some items, I wonder if I’m the first to browse them since they were digitised.
very cool. I only recently heard about this museum, but if it ever becomes safe to travel again, and I come to the UK, I will surely put this museum on the top of my list to visit.
Would loved to have seen more on the techniques used in the manufacture of ancient pottery & porcelain, that really was a feat compared to the stuff being made now.
I was hoping to see more of the Alessio Tasca Cornovaso piece shown in the thumbnail image. I wonder why the vase is shown lying on its side in this picture, which seems to be the official document of the work on the V&A website. Anyone know why it is not shown upright? Is it lying on its side when on display?
this is beautyfull. but seriously what I really want to do is eat just a load of beef in that chinese dragon plate, and then lick all of the sauce from that dragons face.

the way she spoke about the glazed ceramics was so beautiful and thoughtful. loved this
V&A keep up the good work!So very inspiring so nice as a disabled person to get to see things I would’ve normally have access too.

It's so nice to watch people enjoying things
Such an informative and beautiful video!

Yes, I would love to meet this Mister and Misses Museum, Albert and Victoria was it?
This account is so dang good
How anyone is able to make things like this is beyond me
Hownice ! HOWNICE !
0:38 Looks more like an imperial Qianlong-dish (1736-1795) than a 14th century piece, are you sure about the dating?

Professional hoarders 😂🤣👏👍
To me ceramics include glass, poorly displayed @ the V & A & elsewhere. Time for a facelift
I love how europeans are stuck in the XVI century lol his concept of a "world wide collection" includes only Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East
Literally the first countries he mentions are asian and the first thing he shows you is chinese porcelain.
