Description

Commissioned by Kaiser Wilhelm this Wedgwood a "dinner service of more than a thousand pieces, each bordered with vine-leaves and painted with a different scene or landmark from Edwardian England. The set was subsequently dispersed - some broken, much lost. But now, seventy years later, interest in the vanished artifact has coincidentally galvanised and official body and a man in need of a quest". 155p.
