It is no longer on display. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Walters is one of my favorite museums. Now I live in KY and only go there when I am visiting my family occasionally. My daughter and I went to an exhibit about majolica pottery. It was fascinating.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I did see the info about the Poniatowski gem. I thought it was beautiful. Due to the low lighting in the Chamber of Wonders and the small sizes of each one, the intaglios were difficult to make out.
