COLLECTIONS

Discover Ode's kingdom.

Porcelain:
She reigns amongst her porcelain pieces exhibited in various corners and nooks around Caledon Villa. She has reference books to identify collectors' pieces mostly from Europe and more specifically Central Europe. If her sources would fail her, then the Internet is her playing field to investigate even further into the shimmering past of porcelain.

Anthropology: Very different to this is her anthropological collection which she acquired during her field research about the art of the Ndebele tribe some 40 years ago in the Transvaal.  Examples in fine beadwork and ceremonial dresses are exhibited in display cabinets and on walls. Oil Paintings: For those that are interested in oil paintings, a tour of the house will reveal examples of well-known SA artists of the past. Having talents ranging from painting and writing to music making, it gives her great pleasure to discuss related topics with interested guests.
