Your ability to captivate peoples attention whilst talking about the subject matter is what made me learn so much in 8 minutes! Thank you Steven 😁
I’m blushing now. Thank you. It’s much appreciated
I always think Steven is a breath of fresh air on the BBC’s Antique offerings. I always come away having learnt something. His UA-cam offerings are superb as well. 👏👏👏
That’s so nice of you to say. Thank you!
@@MrStevenMoore Steven, I'd be really interested to hear your UA-cam tips on spotting the differences between genuine antique Chinese ceramics and modern reproductions
That would be quite difficult to do as it’s à complicated subject, but let me think ok how I might manage it
Steven Moore is my kind of guy- charming, stylish, knowledgeable, interesting… big fan. Delighted to see he has started his own channel.
i so agree with you

I've learned more about antique tableware in the last eight minutes than I have in years. Thank you.
Thank you. That means a lot! Any suggestions for future videos welcome.
Love that you kept me enthralled for 7 minutes before you delivered the answer to the question in the title. Great technique.
Have always enjoyed antiques but you speak to who, what and why of antiques which make them that much more enjoyable to me. I appreciate you sharing you vast knowledge.
I love your expert information. My Royal Crown Derby came today straight from England! I waited over ONE YEAR! But worth it. Thank you so very much...Bernadette
So informative and presented in a friendly and engaging manner. Thank you, Mr. Moore.
Thank you. Much appreciated
That Derby bowl is gorgeous. You have inspired me to go out and find some beautiful crockery to eat my meals from. Feeling quite excited! Next week's project....off to the antiques centre.
That’s great news. They need not be 200 years old, the thing is to give yourself pleasure by using them. Antiques are surprisingly resilient.
Wonderful! Informative and enjoyable to listen to.
Thank you. It’s so nice to hear
Thanks Steven. Really enjoying your videos
Very interesting and enjoyable 😊
It’s most appreciated
Thank you Mr. Moore.
I have learnt so much from Steven Videos, please keep them coming
I’m making some more this afternoon! Stay tuned!
Very informative and enjoyable video
Would you make a video on “How to tell that a pottery is old or modern”?
Thanks for the suggestion. I shall certainly have a good think about it. The trouble would be how to do it. I know from years of experience. Watch this space!
Thank you?for good and lovely lesson!
Steven I have taken your advice about the soup plates..... :)
Aren’t they just the job? Plus a bit of daily joy!
Very interesting thank you
Fantastic video ! Very interesting details

Thank you
Some great knowledge shared Steven, thanks. Just with regard to using porcelain for everyday use, I see many plates etc described as 'cabinet' plates ir cups. Is there a way of telling whether porcelain was intended for use or was purely for display?
Thank you. Generally speaking ‘cabinet plates’ were made for display, but some were actually for dessert services. This was the fruit course at the end of a meal. I shall be doing a video about this very soon.
I just found you on IG and I absolutely love this!
Perhaps translucent better describes porcelain than transparent ? Did the Chinese always use porcelain or did they use pottery too at differen5 times in their history?
Yes. Translucent is better. The Chinese made stoneware too and early ‘Proto Porcelains’ which weren’t translucent, and yet in 851 CE, Sulaimān at-Tājir wrote: "The Chinese have a fine clay of which they make drinking vessels as fine as glass; one can see the liquid contained in them." Perhaps all these early porcelains have been lost to us?
That was really interesting Steven thank you
Thank you. It f there’s anything you’d like me to do a video on, let me know
This is brilliant!
Thank you Lee. It’s much appreciated. More planned this week.
Thanks for the histoy I always wondered if i was the only person that uses all my antiques well im not alone i have the exact though as you from other side of the ocean
Thanks Steven. Your talk about the two soup plates was very interesting. Items with the same function can be so different. The Derby plate must have been very expensive and presumably kept for best. It’s a privilege to be able to afford to buy such pieces and use them today. Pottery can be heavy, like Ironstone or Stone China and also very delicate like the best Wedgwood creamware, which is surprisingly light. Some antique Chinese porcelain (hard paste) made for export can be heavily potted whereas Welsh porcelain (soft paste) is delicate, very white and highly translucent. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the difference between the two porcelain bodies and whether you have a personal preference?
The Derby plate cost me £10 and using it from time to time give me pleasure.
@@MrStevenMoore A bargain! I wonder how much it cost the original owner and what that cost would buy today? Lots, I’m sure! I have some similar plates in storage which I’m going to dig out and start using. Shame not to really ….
So interesting, thank you!
Thank you!
Steven i have been collecting Herend porcelain over the years mostly for the dinning table can you tell us more about this factory many thanks
A great choice. Beautifully made and never dates
thanks for that so i am on the right track @@MrStevenMoore
❤
Pottery is the craft of making pots. Porcelain is a kind of clay. You are thinking of white stoneware.
Fantastic
can you do a video about table silver please
What aspects?
@@MrStevenMoore i collect silver would like to know more about silver bowls solid silver fish knives and forks, well just everything really decorating the table
