Lot Essay

'De Waal's pots - and the way he groups the pots to display them - are unlike anything else I have seen. They are solid and at the same time vanishing and ghostly, Platonic ideas of the essence of forms and the essence of glazed porcelain' (A.S. Byatt, 'Song of Porcelain', The Guardian, 10 October 2009)
