A Derby Patch Mark two-handled tapering ovoid vase, possibly from a garniture, with funnel shaped neck, painted with birds perched on branches, the verso with two figures, one naked the other scantily draped within gilt foliate scroll cartouches on a mottled blue ground, the scroll handles with flowers applied to the terminals, lightly picked out in gilt, gilt chevron borders, 20cm high, c.1760 Reference: Twitchett, John. DERBY PORCELAIN 1748-1848. Woodbridge, Suffolk : Antique Collectors` Club, 2002. pp.253, color pl. 251. Other vases of similar form and decoration are illustrated by John Twitchett, Derby Porcelain, pl 27, p 48 and Dennis G Rice, Derby Porcelain, The Golden Years, pl 132, p 157. This style of decoration has often been attributed in the past to an outside London decorator, presumably because of the similarities to Chelsea examples of the gold anchor period. However, the colours used and the bird and moth painting are distinctly Derby in style

Salyut 7 Helium Tank Salyut 7 space station artefact Salyut 7 Spacecraft - Helium Tank - fell 7th February 1991 This is a helium tank from the Russian Salyut 7-Cosmos 1686 (Kosmos 1686) spacecraft assembly, which went out of control and fell to Earth as a fireball, 3 to 4 years earlier than expected. Russian mission control put the spacecraft into a spin and tried to control the impact into the Atlantic Ocean as 70kg of fuel still remained onboard. This attempt failed and after a bright fireball that was witnessed by many local people, some fragments fell near the town of Capitan Bermudez, 250 miles from Buenos Aires, Argentina at 01:00 local time on 7th February 1991. The 14 inch diameter, 7.4kg, mostly titanium sphere is peppered with several hundred perfectly formed craters caused by tiny micrometeoroids which impacted on the surface during it`s many years in space. Opposing ends have a mounting rod and a coupling/inlet valve respectively - each has ablated heavily during re-entry and streamers of molten material have been blown back onto the leading faces of the sphere, clearly showing the orientation of flight. Dark scorching on one side of the main body is evidence that the sphere `flipped` during flight as external mountings and couplings broke/ablated away, and for a brief few moments this side was the leading edge before orienting itself once more. This dark patch of side scorching also shows a much lighter coloured `shadow` band where another part of the spacecraft, or possibly the departing mounting rod, momentarily protected this part of the sphere from scorching, and left an outline image of itself in the process. Due to its almost perfectly spherical shape and the high melting point of its titanium chemistry, the main body of the sphere escaped complete ablation of its surface, thus preserving the many micrometeoroid craters. However, the irregularly shaped mounting rod and the opposing coupling/inlet valve have a thick layer of dark fusion crust with fine flow lines that are similar to the surface of a freshly recovered iron meteorite. Some of the crater `pits` were undoubtedly caused by other parts of the spacecraft that were ablating in front of the spherical tank during atmospheric passage and also by other man-made orbiting debris from earlier space missions that impacted during its 9 plus years in space. This tank has been the subject of much research into the composition of the craters at the Natural History Museum, London. A paper entitled: "Analysis of Impact Residues on Spacecraft Surfaces: Possibilities and Problems" has been written about this Salyut helium tank and was presented at the 3rd European Conference on Space Debris, with a proceedings paper.
