He later donated to the Museum his important collection of 18th century Staffordshire porcelain figures. H. Clifford Smith, in a note on a minute paper (RP 28/9292), 02/11/1928: ‘The collection of pipe-cases is undoubtedly a very interesting one, and every item differs.’ Upon entry to the Museum the condition of this object was noted as 'worn and dented'. |
