this time about a porcelain face,
Fergus Gambon, department director of British ceramics at Bonhams, commented ' My heart stopped, I was immediately struck by its radiance and beauty, the unknown child's smiling face and thick, curly hair are beautifully modelled, beneath a glaze as smooth as silk, the result is a piece of sculpture of great delicacy and pathos',
the good news is that specialists believe it could break the world record price for early English porcelain - which currently stands at £223,650 pounds, so any bidders? the head will be sold at the British Pottery and Porcelain auction at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street, London, on April 18.
