...many fine pieces, as Edward Crowninshield. Running his fingers over the "Van Rensselaer" plates he announced at once that they "didn't feel right." A more careful examination convinced him that the service was of plain Lowestoft porcelain which had been skilfully decorated on top of the glaze, then sandpapered to give approximately the correct "feel...
