Was a musician. He went to the Royal Academy of music in london where he was a pianist. So he was very artistic, if you like. And what i think is so clever about this painting is, yes, sure it says in a literal way with the ring and the objects around that this is what this man is about, but its the expression as well. Theres a feeling of sensitivity introspection, fragility. We need to value this intriguing object, and jackson, ken jackson although dead, was a considerable force in portrait pai...

The chinese or worcester patterns. I like to do my own slight variations, but on porcelain shapes made at worcester, fired in the factory kilns to a very high temperature. So my part is doing the painting in blue, and it was sealed there for all time. And this lovely these are nasturtiums, are they . What are those . Uh, lotus. Lotus, ah. They were growing in the park in hong kong. I always liked whenever im traveling, i take a sketchbook, and i do little sketches, and then i work them out into ...

But it was £250, and we tried not to fall on the floor, because the most he had spent was £30. So it was a very big purchase. It was a very big purchase. And i just knew, foolishly, if you like, that i had to buy it for his birthday. And i did, and he told me what a fool i was, but how nice. Im sure he was very pleased. It remained the prize of the clection. A while later, i was having work done in the flat. Graham was away. And i packed everything away and put things that i wanted safe in a w...

Before he sailed on titanic and he pressed them into his hand and said dont spend those until i see you again. And of course, he didnt see him again, because he didnt survive the titanic. My grandfather went on to become a playwright and an author, so he wrote a lot about how he felt about his fathers death and about getting these two pennies, which is how we know so much about his story. They must have meant so much to him. Well, yes, uhhuh. Thats you know, he kept them, he passed them on to my...

Setting off on these voyages knowing theyd be away for years possibly, knowing no idea about what was going to happen. Its fantastic stuff. I think this is a clear case where objects that superficially have no particular significance are very significant. A cigarette case like that without that inscription in that condition is £20. Yeah, thats right. Add that component and youre dealing with a vastly superior sum. Hundreds. Because, as you say, without that there would be no polar expeditions, ...

I wont go back too far. I think, with the damage youd be looking more like £600 to £800. On a good day, it might get itself up to the £1,000, which, lets face it isnt bad. Youve still gone ten times profit. Thats not bad going. Thats not bad going. The thing is, you obviously love it and enjoy it so hopefully, ive not spoiled it for you. Thank you very much.

He was one of the people who were working on the rescue boats at the time...

I mean, im quoting english prices to you, but i have a feeling that north american prices could easily surpass that. I dont think well ever sell it. Im delighted to hear so. But i think its great that youve got the objects, youve got the photographs and youve got the enthusiasm to keep the legend alive. Thanks very much for bringing them in. Well, thank you. Have you ever wondered how these really big items make it to the roadshow . Maybe you thought people crammed them into the back of their ca...

The lady whipped out of her bag this rather wonky white plate. Looks very unpromising but when you turn it around, and you see the painting on the plate, you realize this is very special. Now, the first thing is, this was probably decorated not at meissen. It was made at meissen and then almost certainly it was decorated outside. It is an exquisitely painted image. The quality that comes out of meissen is princely. There was something very specific about the color scheme of this plate. If you lo...
