| Object history | Provenance: enamel samples C.69 to C.92-2002 are from the effects of Ezra Dearing (born William Jones), who had studied at the RCA and was a potter and modeller and studied gold and silversmithing. He bought the enamels second-hand out of interest but the vendor's daughter did not think he used them himself. |
