Some of the world&#8217;s most valuable porcelain was made there and some pieces have sold for thousands of pounds.<br \/>\nGeorge Fountain, the director of the museum, said, &#8221; As a small museum we don&#8217;t receive any funding from the local authority or from any central government sources so we&#8217;re very much dependent on being staffed by volunteers&#8221;.<br \/>\nThey need another five volunteers to meet demand and work alongside the 15 people already helping out.<br \/>\nMr Fountain said, &#8220;We already have a great pool of volunteers but with the increasing numbers we desperately need more because they&#8217;re the lifeblood of our organisation, essential for our ongoing sustainable future.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe museum has been featured on BBC programmes The One Show and Antiques Roadshow after they discovered a lost technique used to make the most valuable porcelain.<br \/>\nJudy Jones has been a volunteer at the museum since 2012. She says she&#8217;s noticed the rise in visitors and added, &#8220;It is a struggle to do justice to the place when you don&#8217;t have enough volunteers and the more visitors, the more volunteers are needed in all sorts of areas.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe museum has put out a Facebook appeal for volunteers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nantgarw China Museum is struggling to cope with a surge of visitors after a number of television appearances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":219,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,6],"tags":[154,434],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-22872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest","category-news","tag-history","tag-nantgarw"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Local museum &quot;desperate&quot;
