Can cultural treasures be sold to foreign buyers? The Telegraph has the story:
Wedgwood vase could be saved from export after culture minister intervenes
"The black “Basaltes” vase was put on sale at Christie’s in July by Anne Makeig-Jones, a descendant of Wedgwood.
...
"The decision to defer the export licence follows a recommendation by the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest, administered by the Arts Council."
