That's nice for the consigner and for Mr. Matheson but it does nothing to validate or authenticate the current ceramics on offer. If as you say the "collection" is very well-researched, then please provide verification and the name and credentials of the appraiser. For example, were the pieces evaluated at an well respected institution such as the Freer-Sackler? Were they evaluated by Sothebys or another major house? When you post on a public board such as this you are open to critical comment like anyone else.
