Donated to the Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC
Today our Trust for Ancient Art gifted this superb 14th Century English glazed ceramic floor tile to the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, North Carolina. It fills a large gap in their collections of English ceramics and ceramic history in general.
Our Trust for Ancient Art has donated over 40 examples of ancient Egyptian, Greek & Roman art to museums and universities. Help us continue this important work: http://igg.me/at/Ancient-Art-Education-for-All/x/4074220

Our New Vimeo and YouTube Accounts
We’ve received such a positive response overall on our antiquities
informational videos (2 so far) that it seemed a good idea to share with
everyone our Vimeo and YouTube pages. I’m partial to Vimeo myself;
they have better tools for editing and enhancing vids and a more
culturally literate viewing population:

Our First Antiquities Informational Video
Something new: our first antiquities
informational video. This one deals with the question of determining
authenticity. We'll improve the sound and lighting on future vids, which
will deal with many other aspects of
the antiquities trade as well as specific types of antiquities by
material, culture, date, etc. Hoping to post new vids every week to ten
days. Comments welcome.
