Dream find:
My top find would be a 16th century maiolica dish by Francesco Xanto Avelli ­ they are so beautiful, and rare! I sold one years ago and it was probably a once in a lifetime experience!

Theo's expertise extends to European ceramics and glass, fine furniture, design objects of the late 19th and 20th centuries as well as works of art and taxidermy.

She has an MA in History and a MLitt in Decorative Arts, both from the University of Glasgow.
