From chamber pots to commemorative busts: The eclectic world of Victorian pottery at the V&A

➡️ https://t.co/gPZNuhQDc3

A collection of "ordinary china" is currently filling a distant corner of the V&A museum, and its ordinariness is why it's an exhibition worth finding.

[Hedley Swain @hedleyswain]

Thanks to all @V_and_A for sharing our wonderful @BrightonMuseums Willet’s collection of pottery with London audiences. Launch this evening.

museum life ✨

The iconic Dale Chihuly chandelier is shining even brighter after a recent thorough cleaning by our team.

Made by Dale Chihuly and his studio team in Seattle, each separate glass element of the V&A Rotunda Chandelier was either free-blown or mould-blown into ribbed moulds. Each element was tied on individually from bottom to top and took over five days to complete the work.

Quite often linked to the imagery that appears on Dutch blue and white tiles in the 17th century, particularly those produced in Harlingen

More on the colours of #Meissen porcelain, with a self-referential figurine of an artist painting the cobalt blue patterns of the underglaze #Zwiebelmuster (which technically should look mud-green at this stage, before firing). #Meissenmanufaktur

Only two days left to contribute to our crowdfund to repair our 300 year old chimneys.

Over 300 people have now donated, yet we still have a way to go to meet our target...
