Grayson Perry, God, and a teddy named Measles sum up UK life in the Covid era

A work by the award-winning artist forms part of an exhibition about the pandemic at the Science Museum in London

A pot made in lockdown by the British artist Grayson Perry is unveiled this week, as it takes its place as an exhibit in the Science Museum in London.

The large decorated vase will stand next to other symbolic items that illustrate the historic impact of the pandemic, including a selection of the vials used in the first mass Covid-19 vaccinations, some of the signs used in the government's daily public pandemic briefings and a few examples of early homemade face coverings.
