Plate collection to go on display
By Chantal) Van Raay
T -A Reporter
EXETER - Whether it's a 1837
Queen Victoria plate or a collection
of Princess Diana and Prince
Charles plates from their wedding,
Dr. Linda Steele of Exeter is proud
to display her 30 -year-old collec-
tion of antique and royal china.
More than 200 pieces of the fin-
est china sit in antique armoires in
her dining room, line the walls or
make themselves a place on her an-
tique dining room table. Plates dis-
playing faces from nearly 100
years ago and plates from about the
past 10 years awe
the most avid plate
collector.
Steele beamed
proudly about one
of the finer plates
she has in her col-
lection.
"i showed them
(avid china col-
lectors) this tea
pot," she said, pointing towards an
antique royal tea pot in a drawer,
"And they couldn't believe that 1
had this because they had never
seen one of these before."
Steele admits perhaps one of the
more popular sets she presently
displays at her century -old home is
the set of royal wedding plates
from Prince Charles and Princess
Diana's wedding.
"I had the set in my office for a
while, as kind of a memorial," she
said, adding, "people really thought
it •was nice that 1 displayed them
"They c
believ
h
becau
had nev
one
b
for people to see." .
This November, Steele will be
displaying a large portion of her
china set at the Lambton County
Museum for a year.
Steele said she frequents the
Lambton Museum often and would
notice she had artifacts and col-
lectors items the museum. didn't
have. She would joke with them
about this, until finally the museum
staff' asked her to prove that she
had pieces from limited editions.
She said she proved her point
well, and when they came to see
'her. collection they had easily
picked out at least 30 pieces they
wanted to display in the museum.
Steele explained
that now, with the re-
cent tragedy of the
Diana, Princess of
Wales, the museum
will undoubtedly be
back to chose the
Royal collection of
plates from one of
,this century's most
memorable weddings
- that of Prince Charles and Prin-
cess Diana.
But all in all, she admitted the
museum was mostly interested in
the age-old antique plates that filled
her home. She also seemed most
proud' of the age-old relics in her
collection, and happy that she is
being given the opportunity to dis-
play them.
"I think it's nice that people sup-
port places like museums because
they need it. it also gives collectors
a chance to display what they
have."
ouldn't
