At our August meeting we had guest speaker Carl Wantrup in attendance. Carl’s main area of expertise is Japanese and Chinese porcelain but he has a working knowledge of other items. Carl brought along some of his own collection to show and speak about.
He also looked at what members had brought along and gave us his opinion of them and an approximate valuation. Carl explained that collectable items go in and out of fashion and that effects their value. It was a very enjoyable session conducted with great good humour by Carl.
We had many lovely items on the day. Thanks to Lin and Janette for taking photos on the day and to Carl for lending his phone to make this possible.

Our September meeting will be the last for this year and a Christmas theme is suggested. Members are asked to bring along an ornament, decoration, plate, table cloths etc. or anything else that they use at Christmas time. This is an option only and other items can be brought along if preferred. It is planned to resume Collectors in February 2017.
