Poor poor guy... I feel so sorry for him. He is passionate about New Zealand ceramics. They are his babies.

I'm devastated for him, not for the dollar value, but for the pottery history that is now smashed to bits.  There is a lesson to be learnt from this and it should have sunk in after the destruction in Christchurch where so much pottery was destroyed. ..... collectors should use Museum Wax - because we live in the Shaky Isles!
