The fine-china boutique on Madison Avenue is a small fairy land of bone china and antique pottery. It’s almost safer to window shop here, but if you brave the front door you will want to tiptoe carefully through the narrow shelves that are near to overflowing with beautiful pieces. Their knowledge of genres and eras is astounding. A snippet of this expertise is conveyed on their website, which is a tidy catalogue glimpse into fine bone china and its categories; the beginnings of an education and a nice little archive of sorts.

Roberto Cavalli, Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karan, Emmanuel Ungaro, Valentino and J.Mendel are just a selection of the myriad who have taken a dip in the magenta inks.

So if the CMYK ‘cartridge’ in your wardrobe needs replacing then you know where to go for the ‘M’.

The stage is set and behind the scenes the players attire in dressing rooms. Lots of sparkle, beading and lacing. Amidst the backstage scenes vintage 30s glamour collides with Santa Fe blankets and stag horns. The attention to detail sees that no point is left out, down to the row of Can-Can dancers on the stage above the suited Musician in the orchestra pit and the window boxes lined with aromatic fur branches. The scent of an alpine glen wafts around me as I click away with my camera.
