MARTHA STEWART, WEDGWOOD AND FROGS - WHAT A COMBO
In 2009 Alexis Antiques lent Piers, Lord Wedgwood and Martha Stewart the Catherine Ice Pail in the Wedgwood Frog Service reproduction set for her show celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the Wedgwood company. Just today, through the Wedgwood Society of New South Wales, we learned the URL of the episode on which our ice pail appeared.
If you click here you will see [this link will not work, please read below] some icons at the bottom, go to the second one from the left, the picture of the dark blue vase with the words Wedgwood Pottery underneath, click that and watch. Martha talks about a gorgeous epergne which was in the 250th anniversary exhibit but then you will see the segment with her and Piers discussing Wedgwood, and you'll see the ice pail. We purchased it from the Wedgwood folks in Australia, it came to us in St. Louis, went to NY and came back, then was sold to a collector in Australia, so it's had a long journey from the Wedgwood factory at Barlaston, Stoke on Trent!!! They are rare, this one is #14 of a worldwide limited edition of 50. The scene illustrated is Caerlaverock Castle & Falls, Blair Castle, Scotland.

No matter what I do the link above will not take one to the video but you can copy and paste this URL into your browser and get it. I can get to it easily this way, but for some reason the "If you click here you will see" link at the beginning of this post simply will not work!
