That’s great news. They need not be 200 years old, the thing is to give yourself pleasure by using them. Antiques are surprisingly resilient.

Thanks for the suggestion. I shall certainly have a good think about it. The trouble would be how to do it. I know from years of experience. Watch this space!

@davidknowles-ll2kg Жыл бұрын

Some great knowledge shared Steven, thanks. Just with regard to using porcelain for everyday use, I see many plates etc described as 'cabinet' plates ir cups. Is there a way of telling whether porcelain was intended for use or was purely for display?

@MrStevenMoore Жыл бұрын

Thank you. Generally speaking ‘cabinet plates’ were made for display, but some were actually for dessert services. This was the fruit course at the end of a meal. I shall be doing a video about this very soon.

Perhaps translucent better describes porcelain than transparent ? Did the Chinese always use porcelain or did they use pottery too at differen5 times in their history?

@MrStevenMoore Жыл бұрын

Yes. Translucent is better. The Chinese made stoneware too and early ‘Proto Porcelains’ which weren’t translucent, and yet in 851 CE, Sulaimān at-Tājir wrote: "The Chinese have a fine clay of which they make drinking vessels as fine as glass; one can see the liquid contained in them." Perhaps all these early porcelains have been lost to us?

Thanks Steven. Your talk about the two soup plates was very interesting. Items with the same function can be so different. The Derby plate must have been very expensive and presumably kept for best. It’s a privilege to be able to afford to buy such pieces and use them today. Pottery can be heavy, like Ironstone or Stone China and also very delicate like the best Wedgwood creamware, which is surprisingly light. Some antique Chinese porcelain (hard paste) made for export can be heavily potted whereas Welsh porcelain (soft paste) is delicate, very white and highly translucent. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the difference between the two porcelain bodies and whether you have a personal preference?

@MrStevenMoore Жыл бұрын

The Derby plate cost me £10 and using it from time to time give me pleasure.

@DavidNewman-df6vg Жыл бұрын

@@MrStevenMoore A bargain! I wonder how much it cost the original owner and what that cost would buy today? Lots, I’m sure! I have some similar plates in storage which I’m going to dig out and start using. Shame not to really ….
