If you reply to this message, your message will be sent to all the people on the list, not just the author of this message. --------------- To Ruth: Many thanks; if you think your ceramic piece might vaguely be pharmaceutical, you may get a 'steer' from the University of Manchester Medical School Museum. Bill Jackson certainly used to work there, whom I know. He is the author of the Shire Book "The Victorian Chemist and Druggist" and has an amazing personal collection of this sort of thing. He may have retired now, as the museum's website refers one to Dr Peter Mohr.
