Posted on 24th September 2015 by Sally Campbell & Edmund De Waal

Listen to De Waal talk passionately and elopquently about the history of porcelain - the lavishness, such as Louis XVI's porcelain folley, the obsession, in the porcelain-sickness of Augustus The Strong, and the cruelty, in Dachau. It is an extraordinary story.
