The theme for the April 2025 meeting of the Antiques Group was Antique Vases, Pots & Planters.

The session started with a video “Drew Loves His Vases And Pots!” featuring Drew Pritchard, the star of Salvage Hunters.

This was followed by more videos :

• A Lost Imperial Chinese Vase Found in a French Attic
• A pair of Japanese cloisonné vases by Namikawa Sosuke
• Delftware flower pots
• Jardinieres & a unique Flower Vase
• Antique Celadon Crackle-Glazed Vases & Lamps

After a break for refreshments, during which details of upcoming local Auctions, Antiques Fairs and Valuation days were shared, the final video was the BBC Antiques Road Trip “Blowing it All on Glass” with experts Roo Irvine and Mark Hill searching out vases to take to auction.
