Further details

We would like to express our gratitude to Thierry Audric, for his opinions and wealth of expertise on the history of Chinese reverse-painted mirrors. Also to Steve Littlejohns, for sharing his extensive knowledge of Singleton Abbey. Both were integral to the research for this catalogue note.
