Antiques Roadshow UK Series 16 Episode 8 Cork, Munster

[Music] this week we've brought the Antiques Roadshow to the southeast coast of Ireland and the shores of one of the world's great natural harbors we're in County Cork for many thousands of people this spectacular scenery became itched in their minds as a final memory of Mother Ireland because Cork harbour was the main port of mass emigration to the United States the exodus began in the last century and continued well into this in 1912 a White Star liner was anchored out there as she embarked dozens of Irish families for the new world alas the ship was called the Titanic the city itself lies several miles upstream from the harbour at the end of a meandering and beautiful esteridge along the banks of which are many imposing and historic landmarks among them Black Rock castle rebuilt in the 19th century on a site fortified for 300 years cork is a city of bridges of which there are more than 20 and spires there are almost as many of those but it's also a city of contradictions I should think there are more public houses here in Cork than anywhere else in Ireland including Dublin yet ironically the local hero commemorated by a statue in the city centre was one father Matthew who led the temperance movement in the 19th century it said that as a result of his sermons on the virtues of abstinence the value of the revenue on alcohol fell by 50% but the pubs stayed open if a first impression of Patrick Street suggests that it weaves around like the river itself it does it was built over it you'll also often find houses like this with their front door several feet above the pavement the explanation simple the road was once yet another branch of the river and the steps brought you up from your boat one of the most imposing of the 20th century buildings in Cork is the city hall and that's our home for the day just a quick word about valuations you might hear reference to either the pound sterling or the Irish punt it really makes very little difference at the time we're here the two currencies are just about on a par and a special welcome has weekd to local experts Mairead Dunleavy and Peter Marie they'll be giving us the benefit of their special local knowledge so let's now join our experts with the people of cork did is little lovely thing I think is beautiful you cleaned it there do you two bring it in today very brave of you a Belleek basket like that is something very special is it I've always wanted to pick up the lead of one of these like I've never been allowed to see the few but but it's a large size trousers and it has four strands what is important is the number of strands the four strands are slightly later so I suppose we're okay to be about 1900 in date something like that so that's what's 90 years of age the ribbon mark terney through submit own old one no no four strands three strands earlier four strands are our leader and the strands this is hands are these these basket we use across there which are lovely aren't they but what a superb it work malik at its very best about 30 odd years and how did you acquire through the family if we were living in County Limerick at the time and I've had sister little shop that then you have never been there before and I went in and have a look around and thanked him and on my way out I saw there was another door leading into a back place and I saw a chair and this was on the floor under the chair so I went in again and asked him had he more stuff on display inside him and he said yes you may go in and I came out with the basket how much did you have to pay for kind of lucky is just a little bit damaged yeah there's a shame just as broken across there it was a broken pieces were in the basket Oh will you done a very good job very glum it's all right thank you don't see it from the top the wind the covers all looks as pretty as a picture it reduces its value but it's still a bit more than a pouch oh I think it is I spent a basket with a bit of Debbie's like that good to be around about four to six hundred pounds is that dawn it'd be more than perfect it does make a lot of difference damage that's a good increase on one pound but she's got hands knitted silk stockings but she hasn't got any shoes and she's wearing out her each yes yes unfortunately the shoes were lost many years ago but she has she has got holes in her stockings did you play with her as a child no she was given to me by a very old lady and I've had it for at least 60 years but my mother would never let me play with her because she thought she was rather lovely quite right so she has been you know in the family as I say for it I think we're sitting pretty yes I mean she's the original she'd never had anything edit or subtracted since idea to be original I mean the dress is slightly falling down I think there's a little loose maybe she's been dancing like I expect you here what is fascinating about this dress is that it looks like you know the flapper style of the 30s when the cab cab in fact he's 1860 1870 she is by the French makeup off a Gaultier but yes but he made a lot of heads for other makers so we don't know exactly who the kid body is made by under here she has the original what we call a cork Pete because in there is an aperture where the court papers put in to give it that rounded appearance and then the wig being real hair wig is put on over the top and she has a particularly nice body which is a typical French leather body known as gusseted because it's gusseted at the bottom excuse me pulling up her skirt its gusseted at the bottom and about the knees so that she can sit you see and she got these lovely leather hands which are being separately stitched so she's a high quality doll she's no doubt an empress and in in a sale of dolls in an auction I would see her making around 1,500 pounds how on earth there's an awesome wall plate at this time end up in your possession well my husband inherited when he took over his father's house the plate came with it amongst other furnishings let's let's have a look at it this is a lot to look at let's face it I know that size isn't everything but I think in this case it comes pretty close to the mark let's start with this border I think this border is wonderful because anybody looking at this plate who knows anything about Italian majolica could be forgiven for thinking that we were looking at something that was made in the early 16th century in Urbino because this border with the sort of Renaissance grotesques and these these characters that look like they've stormed out of some Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet play and these weird ladies a little vignette here which is it must be one of the labors of sort of Hercules is he's wrestling with a lion and then the border itself we moved to the sort of the covet oh to use a nice technical term is this this narrow band which is in this lovely sort of pale blue but actually enameled in white in a technique called Bianco sopra Bianca mmm now this is where the this is where it gets exciting because it gets better the nearer you get to the middle because what were what we're left with here is the most wonderful rich vibrant painting by a man called Thomas Kurt and Kurt be being a minton artists in actual fact this isn't this is a design that that Kirby actually copied after an engraving by Raphael Sadler which in turn was a was a copied after a painting by uncle Hans Fung van Arkin the nice thing is that the label on the back is probably dating from around about 1853 1855 I'm sure of that date well I'm not sure I'm not a hundred percent certain thing is a piece like this is an exhibition piece now I can only think on this side of the Irish Sea at about that time the exhibition in question just might have been the the Dublin exhibition of 1853 but what I like is this little monogram down here and you can see the the TK monogram and the other nice little feature and these three little ermine marks which was a trademark used by Minton in the early to to mid 19th century so I mean I talk in terms of insurance and all that sort of thing it's not you know if you didn't have it and you saw it with a price tag of about five thousand pounds would you be tempted to buy it I don't know that's a difficult question well the reason I say that is that is the sort of money that you would probably have to part with to replace it I mean it's easy to say with it's irreplaceable the only thing I could where I could describe it is it's something of a real cork well inside this Morocco pound box if I can hand that to you now otice we have got the most in life which is as a traveling reading lamp to the right that's exactly what it is if we take this out of the box - yes [Music] we have got a week which comes up thus spirit goes in there and when you've lit it and trimmed awake you put a top on like this hey presto you have a beam you have a a lens here which will give you a light if you're traveling by railway or place away from home where you don't have the facilities of course this is pre electricity to do anything by by daylight or bad light it is chrome-plated on brass probably made and in fairly limited numbers and it looks good and it is beautifully made value is slightly conjectural but I can imagine giving easily a hundred pounds of them it's just so nice thanks thank you this is oriental in fact this is more specific as Japanese this is made around about 1700 1720 so it's very early indeed I suspect that all this material here would probably come off with a bit of persuasion but it's a it's a jolly good bowl typical form present from the National Park Japan it's got this very very bold typical swirling pattern in what is called the Amari colors this is made in Japan and shipped out to the port called Amari that's I guess is name there's a very nice Bowl is a very similar one in the collection of Burleigh house in Lincolnshire almost identical to this this one is probably worth a thousand maybe what just all over when this picture was purchased in 1969 when the old royal car club decided to move from cold to across April the as you probably know the Warren Corky our club is the oldest doctor in the world and it was founded with a charter from george ii in 1720 really and this picture they moved most of the stuff that's a goods to cross even and this was one of the leftover pieces covered in bitumen and two fine holes anderson thrown on the ground actually rise well on first inspection I must say it doesn't look a terribly an impressive picture really to be absolutely honest the condition of it is really rather horrendous and if one didn't know better I think one would dismiss it out of hand but in my opinion I think the picture is prompted by a local artist here called George Nancy Wheatley Atkinson who outside this area well outside Ireland is not really very well known but in fact in this area he's quite a prominent artist now I think he started life as a ship's carpenter and then he began took up painting and actually is pretty well known he's a man of many talents he was also the government inspector of shipping and I think he used to go around the harbour and a little steam launched to be heard and he was known as captain Atkinson it's treated with great respect up here you notice there's a big section here that's been repainted it's also suffered terribly from what I suspect is separation paint separation and you can see all these gaps here which someone has tried to fill in also what we call shrinkage here and overall really it is is a picture and not great condition can I ask you what you paid in 20 pound fresh and I spent 30 bones right up on top so it stands you in 250 pounds yes well I think is being by a sort of a nobody if we didn't notice by a concern we would probably say that it was worth optimistically something like 2 to 400 pounds and that sort of so you would have done reasonably well but I think that as being by a concern I am pretty sure it is by him there was one sold not very long ago similar size but in good condition which made 13,000 pounds but I didn't want to give you high hopes so I'm going to let you down gently but I think that assuming that a restorer could undo a lot of what has been done and an improve it somewhat I think it could well be worth in the region of two to three possibly four thousand pounds when I saw this from across the other side of the hall I thought ah now here we've got a classic Regency sofa it has all the lines that one would expect to see in a piece influenced by designs of say Thomas hope that so much associated with English Regency design at the very early part of the 19th century it has this long curved back and particularly exciting I think are these very broad arms at the ends which suggests the papyrus leaves growing up that were part of the Egyptian campaign that Napoleon stimulated yes with with the Nile campaigns can you tell me how you came to have this this piece it was sold by an antique dealer to prominent lady she took it to her house and after a few weeks the MEI discovered some sawdust under the back rail so they put it into a secondary auction and it was in there and I bought it for I think a little over a hundred pound well now what what fascinates me is that having thought that this was a classic Regency sofa I then came up and looked at it more closely and when I came to look at the sides here I found that it wasn't quite doing what I expected at all because you expect Regency design to be essentially classically based and although you've got a little bit of reading orchid ruining here it doesn't really do what one would expect from the designs of Thomas hope for instance which would be much more free or Roman in or Egyptian indeed in derivation and in fact round the side here you have these rather Rococo lines very very unusual indeed and then almost as a sheaf of corn here and then following it down again to the seat rail I found this split turning here again looking a little like Ford ruining as one might expect or reading on an English piece but this I'm beginning to find it's very characteristic of the area we're in here core you have this very good splayed leg here with the line for Costner on it exactly what you would expect from the design of Thomas mode for instance and it was much influenced by Pope later on you find that the display Lakes not very sad not very strong and they're replaced by turned straight plates so I would think that it perhaps dates from about 1820 locally may or it may something made in in Ireland possibly in the port area I like it because of its quirkiness and I would think that probably it would self around 1,500 to 2,000 I think a very engaging piece and particularly because as I said before it doesn't do what I expected to do well I'm very flattered to hear that see pottery model to this higher standard it's quite remarkable beautiful painting of the base but particularly there's very vigorous melding of the cloth this is really powerful and it's as good in examples you ever get of sculpture in propery the 1790 [Music] I said I've seen others come because I never thought them great I said oh gosh just another awkward we got on child but this one is so crunchy it's so successful then I think we've then came up for sale you might well be looking at 3000 pounds is the best one it's a little what I call an ermine mark now this this point me in the direction of saying this was made at Minton its Minton majolica and I'm just interested to know what you've used it for for you put fruit on it I just looks like it should be the sort of thing you'd have out at Christmas and fill it with Brazil's and almonds and what were the squirrel but Minton majolica around about 1870 in date probably worth in the region of around about three to four hundred pounds I don't joke when it comes to money I never joke no it's too serious three to four hundred it's made either in measured or Kishan and Persia and it looks like four so there's a kind of frit where type porcelain very glossy it was made to in fact a copy Chinese in the 17th century because there's an enormous trade in Chinese coming through the Middle East through the Cold War mousse that's more at the maritime they don't read a book by this time was more less defunct it was it was all maritime trade and so a lot of Chinese materials brought into Persia and it was copied there and in fact we do know that it supported the Dutch for example used to sell this kind of material in Holland pretending it was Chinese what it would have been copying this you can see if you as you surmise it's it's been reduced been cut down round away this shape originally would have almost certainly had a complete globe almost and then risen up either as a long stem or as another gourd another bulb on top so it would have been technically a double good bottle it's interesting to look at the the motifs on it too let me let me just show you this for example it's taken but it's a combination of things the shape is one around 16:30 or 1640 the design this bit round here these are these were actually corrupt lotus panels is the only thing you find look at old Chinese bore to see a lot of these around the borders of them from the 14th century onwards so that is one thing that they're picking up to read is pretty accurate and this bit here were these circle fabulous animals in fact are really dear they represent longevity they not often they have five of them as an auspicious figure but why do we know it's as Persian well the material itself is not porcelain it's got this but it's a very grainy material which is absorbed a lot of muck over the years well Chinese porcelain doesn't do that it's got this quite ill-fitting crackle glaze on the bottom here so it's this combination of the of the material with this glassy blueish glaze and this very loose kind of design this is what it tells you what it is it is this is in fact this blue probably comes from near Kishan is where the Chinese got their blue or someone whose anyway it's a lovely rich warm purple color so it was a great interest you just don't see these because of the reduction in its value would probably be no more than what two three four hundred pounds maximum if this fantastic piece and the perennials the condition is just pristine I've never seen an early fella blog which is what it is jean-philippe wah and it's from Paris it's French and I haven't seen one with so many movements in such good condition and somewhere we have the big dome the glass dome which is so difficult to find these days because they've get broken so easily we have a little problem with the workings we have manual workers here thanks to Simon bull and yourself but the interesting thing about this is that this was all on one string pulled at the side through a hole in the base which is an oval black carved wood base and I don't think it would take too much to get it going it also had in the base a very small moose musical movement which is a Swiss musical and as you've seen that and I would think it only plays one tune probably winner which would have gone off at the same time as Ghana they're more likely to match the rhythm of these wonderful clans which I mean I haven't seen three fans and a dog doing so many movements in one of these early automata which about 1870 and you've got the original paper you've got wonderful silk background and this sort of piece at all it's so difficult to find and if it would come up it needs probably a few hundred pounds spending on it to get it going I can see it making somewhere between five and seven thousand pounds now Peter this champ looks as if he's hoping to hit little stump in a sort of 18th century game of crickets but I gather it's a different sort of game entirely I'm afraid it's completely different game and if a far more dangerous then cricket although contemporary cricket is not the safest of games either that's right yes this chap is playing what was called Road bowling and it's a game which we think was introduced into Ireland by Weaver's probably from the north of England or Yorkshire in Ireland it's unique to the areas of our mouth cork and Waterford and was very popular in the 19th century it was played directed by the gentry and nowadays is played by everybody the game I mean is it rather like the French game of petanque where there's a janitor trying to hit it's far more ferocious the idea of the game is that there's a course of about 2 miles around the open country roads and you'll find it even today on Sunday mornings if you're driving along this ball will come hurtling past you and the idea is that they hurl this ball as far as far and as hard as they can and the idea is to get around the course in the least number of thousand the painting is interesting because it shows Abraham Morris who is a local landowner of their early 19th century he built on cattle house on the outskirts of the city which is still standing and this is a multi ford long field or castle Marian clone in the painting is set in Casa Marian Cloyne and it has all the details of the painter Daniel McDonald a local artist born in Cork in 1821 has exaggerated the landscape and the the dolmen which is there it doesn't actually look like this and there are mountains in Cloyne but it's a very fanciful and very volatile and charming painting of a local custom that still thrives today so it's a good example of a painting that has much more importance here locally as a local artist than it would in turn absolutely it came from the korkin County club it's known in the city art museum the Crawford and you call it bowing rather than bowling fouling and throwing the ball is lofting the bow the thing that catches my eye once I about this lovely tankard first of all is the gilding it's so strong and it's got a good 18th century this is supported of course by the Rococo panel here which again is absolutely typical of 1755 1716 then we got a portrait of Catherine the Great and to top it all off we have contemporary silver mounts I'm afraid to turn I can't find this mark and nor can our colleagues yet it looks like a Swedish man absolutely of the period there's no doubt about that this is what you'd expect it to look like it has coin set in the middle with this matted Rococo decoration here and when you open it this very well designed you just take this and it just opens it beautifully and the interior is guilt with the reverse of the same coin or middle now if we look at the bottom it has a cross sauce mark with a dot yes of myself used to drink beer or wine I think beer but but but I think this forgive me won't discuss is for us we could these great 18th century objects they look useful but I don't know how many people are actually in Frank that's when they took it home and stuck in the cabinet and that's why they intended to stay inside nobody conditions this is it super mobbed it in nice condition I think if you wanted to replace this which market to buy one you would be looking to you would have to pay six or seven thousand pound it really is brilliant octave and it's got everything going for it Imperial portrait very good decoration and contemporary month yes and those are all each feature is good have more together it makes it even better now here we have a d-shaped card table phase lined on the inside but it's really the top but is so special how long have you had this 130 years I want some money on a hospital is good going because I like I like that idea that's that's very nice again it's got some of the classic features that one would expect to find in some Englishmen from the 1780s perhaps more in the style of Hepplewhite perhaps one of the things that interests me is that while you have this satin wood and the bear you on the top and the stringing all what one might expect when you move down to the frieze at the table there's a slight difference of character it's a little bit crisper and the grain of the satin wood is slightly different and in the center you have this Prince of Wales feathers which is is interesting it would of course be perfectly acceptable in an English furniture is around that date because they're the Prince of Wales chief his majority in 1817 83 but this there's something slightly curious about the frieze and then the the legs as well is termed and tapering legs fluted with little carved out leaf happens at the top of the leg it is slightly flattened now I'm wondering whether in fact this table this has been RIBA neared with this fries and had their legs added later date I think the top is very nice from the late 18th century and I think that perhaps the front has been grieving it in the early 20th century Boston it reminds me of work that I understand famous Dublin mate or James Hicks did and so a little bit of an enigma this table I think is perhaps isn't altogether the same as when it first started up but the top is superb it's an extremely nice table even now and I would I would think things like this you would expect to pay at an auction or around 3,000 pounds for a table I'm very very nice and I'm delighted that you put your winnings to such a good value I hope you still do know I've given up the horses how did you get it well I'm actually bringing it in for a friend and he bought us Anna Dublin jumps up about five years Gospels for a five poem well he did extremely well this is something I hoped would turn up but and luckily it has because you know is wonderful to have a piece of Irish arts and crafts this you may know is by the done Emma gild it was founded in 1902 in Dublin by a lady called Evelyn Gleason there was a painter she trained in London first as a portrait painter and then when she was a student at the South Kensington school of art became very interested in tapestry to know about the name of this pattern is the Danish Viking ship that's right it's Viking ships and it was one of the most popular patterns therefore it's very difficult to date this precisely because you know they were doing this you know round about in the early nineteen hundred's but they went on producing it in the 1920s but I think the fact that this is in vegetable dyes indicates that it's probably fairly early one and of course the thing about it is that it is a true tapestry these days so many people talk about a piece of leader point on canvas as being a tapestry which it isn't I mean this is woven on a loom these are the warp threads of linen and then the wall has been you know woven this way and beating down saying that this would be very you thought about its value and acid are no well they are so sought after and so rare that we think that you know even in this condition you should insure it for about five hundred pounds okay so no it was a wonderful drug shot by a fans of things Georgian are always looking for pieces like this there are far more people around who collect who would like one never mind - and although these aren't a matching pair they're extremely desirable what are they they're buckets for keeping plates in they were used for taking the plates away and bringing them to the dining table in the Great Houses of which there are quite a few around call when did you get these I got from 1978 locally I don't know I got my dealer in topic they don't Dublin one of the things that's nice about them is that it's a it's a very suitable sort of marriage between materials of 18th century mahogany and brass which are great and they wouldn't have survived this well if they weren't well matched nowadays well tell me what you paid in 78 for well I paid for the two of them I paid five hundred pounds yeah well you probably double that now even though they're not a matching there may be a little bit more for a match Burton's breweries were a family business way back you know your family yes my family yes very well once they're lovely about this is the label is in very good condition very often they've been you know Nick to the side and and tall and the fact that it's got its original seal on the top and this newspaper cutting it says that every 7th visited Burton brewery now do you remember your grandmother talking about well I understand that he went through and and he put his seal on on just a limited number of bottles and and this relation of mine who owned the brewery just he kept one of the bottles for himself so it just sort of passed down there's wonderful because he visited the brewery in February 1902 and I don't know how many were food I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure it was quite a small number maybe around 30 or H I'm not quite sure I mean they are certainly very collectible and they've gone shooting up in the last five years anybody that collects Edward the seventh memorabilia would pay up to 100 pounds I don't think that they would open it no no I dread to think that it would taste like thirty goes straight to your head all I can tell you this was probably made in South Germany all of Bohemia in around about the end of the nineteenth century and then exported over I mean if you look if you look odd here earlier you could have made a fortune playing it outside the front door to the queues and it's not a lot in the value of stakes you're talking you're talking less than a hundred pounds I'm afraid Maisie thank you this is a very imposing job isn't it very colorful how did you come by that all that belonged to my husband's inheritance he got it from his parents who spent a lot of time in Poland and Russia before the Second World War and I suppose that they bought this object at that time there it called a Panettiere to the badge of office of a bishop and probably of the Orthodox faith and he wear it on his on his ooh on his chest and it would be very imposing indeed but it's the stones have used here a mixed the the stone at the bottom is actually an amethyst but the others are in the manor pace but it's beautifully made and the same craftsmanship that's used on them making of a gem said jewel a real jewel has been lavished on this and the cutting of the of the aquamarine pastes the glass used to simulate aquamarines is very exact and very uniform hmm and the colors of the stones of a also very well chosen we turn it over we can see how beautifully it is made at the back and it's pierced by hand and the settings brought up very beautifully my guess is that it's sort of the first part of the 19th century no later than that I don't think and a really extravagant and very beautiful example of the very best middle European paste work the virginal child in the middle seems to be of some sort of composition perhaps suggesting I every I don't know it's not hugely valuable I'm afraid because of its subject matter had it been done anything else but a religious jewel I think a lady might have considered wearing it so I suppose in a way um you've never worn it clearly have you any idea what it's worth no no no fun not for us this is some real emotional value well that's right and I think in a way of people should concentrate on that a great deal more but we I suppose we must consider an insurance value and I suppose something approaching a thousand pounds ought to be about right everything thank you for sharing thank you very much it's the source of the river Lee which of course flows through core yes and the site itself is the Hermitage of San Finbar who was the Saint who was supposed into found corn yes he was a seventh century Saint and I've heard there's also another rumor that some hideous monster drowned him in the lake and that was the end of him had you heard that and we hear many funny stories down there well we didn't hear yeah I didn't hear that one yes what I particularly like about it is that it's rather optimistic the lovely light of the picture so many of these 19th century Highland landscapes were so often have bad weather and I rather melech and iam brooding and I just think that's really quite a cheerful what spurred about this picture and this place but we must come round to the artist did you know who the artist or who the pen he was by Newcombe yes being solemn you see he Watkins and his monogram here yes can be seen yes now on the question of value have you ever considered what it might be worth and you hadn't even kind of hazard it again we have we've seen other pictures by the painter soul yes how much were they fetching well the last one we saw I think about 6000 yes well I think the painting is a splendid one as I said the original frame also helps its value and I would conservatively say that it was worth ten thousand to fourteen thousand pounds I know what this is going to be before I even open the box is that clever of me it's obviously a robusta coffee set isn't that is that super I've had it 31 years it was given to me by an old gentleman who befriended my brother and he gave it to me as a gift and told me to mind it it was worth minding and you minded it well it's in super condition just original fitty box and with this original enameled spoons and it's a joy joy to see the date coding that's an asterisk and eight dots gives us 1924 that's made in 1934 and all the pieces are contemporary but they're painted by different painters which is very interesting you know this saucer here signed by Edward towns in he was a great chap Edward Townsend I knew him well in his last year's date now of course all the painters of this group are dead the cup here is signed by little William bacchanal interestingly towns in the back nor and several of these other painters here Charlie Tilton were members of what was called the terrible seven they were lads up the factory who were apprenticed in the 1918 period and they did thread for the draw the factory they got a shocking reputation they almost died burn the factory down Bob Bob fire lights and played cricket now the length of the corridor of the painting room you see the big bars as the wicked they were shopkins they were called the terrible seven but you might wonder that all these pages are by different people don't all by the same people do worry about that you know they think you don't be the save otherwise they've been mixed are I I wondered I don't wondered why there were but what happened is that you you could imagine when an order comes in to the factory you have a row of these on the on the the bench on on the shelves of the of the stockroom and the stockroom manager doesn't care whose paintings are all of the same gathers them all puts them in a box and you have a sense and what's fascinating I think is you've got so many different painters they're absolutely gorgeous they're now fetching quite a bit of money have you any idea what they were no idea we've got them in short no no well the last set anything like this that turned up at auction earlier this year went for two and a half thousand pounds so I think sort of in an insurance point of view what think in terms 3,000 right something like that I mean they're they're absolutely super well I must say we've had a really splendid day here in Cork and our warm thanks the due to local people who've been universally charming welcoming and hospitable as always I must say when we come to Ireland we've seen an extraordinary number of violins invariably they have a little label inside claiming they were made by Stradivarius well alas the violins were wrong but a lot else as you saw was right and much of it locally made to next week we're in Sussex I very much hope you'll join us then in the meantime we're off now to kiss the Blarney Stone from all of us here in Cork [Music]
