Katie basically bought this strange 19th c. Scottish glazed ceramic potato flask from Cove Landing for Peter’s birthday. It is in the form of a potato but as gallery co-proprietor Angus Wilkie explained, some people today seem to imagine it is what your liver looks like when you have experienced too much out of the flask!

This calendar year, he selected as his own get house product, this unbelievable 1st-2nd c. Advert Roman marble architectural theatre mask from London historic art gallery Charles Ede.
And I occurred to catch fashion designer and 2019 Young Collectors Night time honorary chair Zac Posen, who selected a wonderful brooch from Kentshire. He looked dashing as often with a bejeweled lapel, versus the booth’s fashionable backdrop of Scalamandre’s typical Zebras wallpaper.
From c. 1945, the brooch is of statement earning size with a floral spray of amethyst and citrines.
