Week 6 - 30/10/07This is a featured page

Liz Goodman gave us an excellent presentation on the current approach to conservation and the fact that all conservation work needs to be reversible. It was also very interesting to discover how important it can be for the conservators to assist with the removal of items from the field. We also had a good chance to ask Liz some relevant questions.

We then moved on to repacking/labelling bulk items :

Today we moved to looking at the ceramic 'bulk' items, which we were told means they are judged not worth having individual catalogue entries and accession numbers. Most of it seemed to be bits of blue and white plates, with pictures of rural life and flower borders, much the kind of stuff you can still see on sale in markets but the Limehouse plates had no makers names, so wasn't modern, perhaps Victorian. There were a few bowls, mugs and eggcups. I had one more exciting object - a large pottery tankard. in pieces but most of it there. It had a relief picture running round it, a panoramic view of what looked like a Maharajah's procession, with wonderful elaborate carriages drawn by elephants and camels , all different, no repetition. As it was shaped like a European beer tankard I think it must have been a relic of the Raj rather than genuine indian work but again there was no makers name. Sadly I didn't have my camera but will try to get a picture another time.
Do you find this valuable?
