<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 583377, member: 5833"]I alert someone at CARC if I find one of the Poniatowski gems on the market. They are not 'antique' (Imperial Roman or earlier); they were commissioned in the 18th century. Most of them depict scenes from classical mythology & CARC has been trying to build a data base with photos & current location. They already know about these:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=poniatowski&_sacat=281&LH_TitleDesc=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=poniatowski&_sacat=281&LH_TitleDesc=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=poniatowski&_sacat=281&LH_TitleDesc=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I have found a couple that had been lost track of.
