    Thanks, that was a really fascinating video. I've always admired the affects of supersaturated glazes without knowing what it is, it's nice to know what they are.

    Really wish I could visit the V & A and other museums around the world. And in the meantime, I wish in-depth digital tours were available. I’ve been exploring books from some library’s digital collections, where they’ve photographed each page, so we can explore all kinds of texts on all kinds of subjects. I’ve come across the most amazing treasures, from Papyrus manuscripts from 400 BCE, to Medieval manuscripts & illuminated texts, to books on all kinds of fascinating subjects. Seeing them in their aged state, with mildew spots, water stains, and lovely cinnamon coloured pages feels a lot like browsing the dusty basement in search of treasure! And with some items, I wonder if I’m the first to browse them since they were digitised.

    very cool. I only recently heard about this museum, but if it ever becomes safe to travel again, and I come to the UK, I will surely put this museum on the top of my list to visit.

    Would loved to have seen more on the techniques used in the manufacture of ancient pottery & porcelain, that really was a feat compared to the stuff being made now.

    I was hoping to see more of the Alessio Tasca Cornovaso piece shown in the thumbnail image. I wonder why the vase is shown lying on its side in this picture, which seems to be the official document of the work on the V&A website. Anyone know why it is not shown upright? Is it lying on its side when on display?

    0:38 Looks more like an imperial Qianlong-dish (1736-1795) than a 14th century piece, are you sure about the dating?
