Traveling through Space and Time

What would objects say if they could tell their own stories? This pen case traveled about 6,000 kilometers and survived a century before its current lid was added to replace the damaged original. The porcelain base has been dated to circa 1500 and was made in China, while the fritware lid is dated to 100 years later and was produced in Persia. The lid is in a different style to the original body – its restoration was meant to be visible. Join us in tracing the journey of this pen case through history and across continents.
