Betty Klaber, together with her daughter Pamela, started their ceramics business Klaber & Klaber, in 1969, specialising in 18th century European porcelain and enamels.
The Klaber family began collecting in the heydays of the 1960s, when good 18th-century porcelain was plentiful and it was easy for them to create an interesting collection very quickly. Betty’s husband, Imre, provided the early inspiration for the collection. He was an adviser and always available to provide hands-on assistance over the years.
