Really fabulous view, and I see that the green of your dining set is echoed in some of the leaves outside. I too could just sit there and watch...
PS - your cheerful Franciscan Tiempo set must be so reminiscent of family holiday get-togethers, barbeques etc. My mother had a Franciscan Desert...
When I extract this from its hiding place in a box somewhere (there are many boxes in my house!), I will try to drink from it and see if I can...
I think you have got it exactly, a rather showy but probably cheap cup from Germany, circa 1900. A surprising amount of workmanship for a cheap...
Wow, that is exactly it! But as you say no real information on where or when it was made. At least I know the saucer to look out for in charity...
I've had this unusual cup for a while, and have never come across anything similar. I love the elaborate handle, and the gilding is all hand...
Could he be from a condiment set, for vinegar? Although the face definitely suggests strong alcohol! Have you tried sniffing the cork?
Hi, glad you agree that it is not Chinese, there's nothing wrong with Chinese but early English is what I would prefer! The foot shape seems...
Many thanks for this John, and I apologise for not putting in measurements, my bad! Also I was mixing this up with another, Chinese, larger bowl...
Whatever an item is, I would always suggest give away rather than throw away if you really don't want it! Here in Bristol we have low front...
I have had this damaged bowl for a while now, and thought it might be Chinese export but hoped it was English. Some helpful experts on an English...
Blooey, thank you very much for your expertise, I think I can leave off searching now and regard it as Chinese, decorated to order for a European...
If it was Chinese exported white and European decorated that might explain the insect, but if one was going to do such delicate work, why choose a...
I wonder if there is any connection with the colour and the flea, must look it up! What a fabulous cup and saucer! I would never have guessed it...
I have had this little saucer dish for some years, assuming it was English or European 18th century. I have now been told that it is definitely...
Actually use it as an egg cup, I think I might try that! But then, the elephants . . .
Thanks for this! The other egg cup collector was rather disappointed that hers had been identified as bone, I think I will share this link with...
Sorry, I've put the egg cup away somewhere, but when I find it I will take better ones of the stem and base.
Just realised I should have added Resin to the list of possible bodies. Posted this without adding all the photos, so here are a couple more....
This came with a collection of mainly blue and white vintage ceramic egg cups, it definitely didn't fit in! When I posted it on an egg...
