Recently I inherited from my mother a set of very old fine china teacups. They are in perfect condition and seem to possess some of that preciousness that had drawn my mother to them in the first place. At the same time, in my garden, I found many shards of highly decorated Victorian pottery. I was struck by their lack of preciousness and the manner in which the years had stripped away their value as our connections with their owners was lost.
