Dr Caroline McCaffrey-Howarth is an art historian who specialises in European decorative arts, material culture and the histories of collecting (1600-1900). Originally from rural Ireland, Caroline grew up close to the Belleek porcelain factory, where she discovered her love of ceramics. She is especially passionate about making art history and the decorative arts accessible to all. She is currently working on her first monograph Sèvres-mania: Collecting Sèvres porcelain, 1789-1969. Her current research projects also include an examination of the art collector, botanist and philanthropist Lady Dorothy Nevill (1826-1913), and a post-doctoral project on the production of ceramics as political and historical agents during the French Revolution and subsequent Napoleonic Wars.
