First of all,thank you for your responses,it is appreciated.

Will,I feel envious that you knew the Lammers family,Mrs Lammers seems to have been a trailblazer and her collection of all things both pottery,porcelain and Jades were impressive.

I would say that she was not bothered about simply collecting high end pieces,just genuine pieces (at least of pottery and porcelain)and that is why I have a positive feeling about the small part of her collection that I purchased.

Unfortunately her own personal inventory for the Jade/Nephrite/Serpentine pieces was not found among the family papers,so we do not know where and from whom she purchased them from or what she purchased them as.

I'll keep you informed of any updates which will not be until the New Year.

Enjoy your travels and have a great Christmas.

Vic
