In 1925 Hilditch gave an unspecified prize to punters who correctly guessed the value of one of his vases (see next post ). I want you to guess the price he said it was worth. A clue - he said his whole collection of 57,000 objects was worth £250,000, but later revised this to £2,500,000.

🚨 New book give away!!! 🚨 As my book Connoisseurs and Conmen is out a week today I'm running a competition, for students, inspired by the book's subject, the trickster John Hilditch. The winner gets a free copy of the book. @h-materialculture.bsky.social @manchesterup.bsky.social
