Just 20 years ago, at the sale of the Coope collection at Christie’s, London, the late Mr Harding, the St. James’s square art dealer, paid £l2OO for a small Gubbio ■ware dish, measuring only 8J inches in diameter, the work of the great sixteenth century Italian potter, Maestro Giorgio. Since them as much as £2BOO has been paid for one of these dishes, but at the sale of Mr Harding's collection, at Christie’s, the bidding stopped with a bid at £378. The whole collection of 164 lots produced just under £3OOO.
