He attended the sale with the intention of buying a Georgian tallboy, which he did, but when viewing saw the censer, liked the colour of the enamels and purchased it for a modest sum. It was used for several years as a plant pot but after being itemised in a late 1970s insurance valuation, was 'upgraded' to a desk tidy for paper clips and pens.
