Anyone happen to have a membership to Carters? There is an item I’d love to see a price on if so. Please excuse my groveling.
I’d say it’s very sharp looking! Imari is one of those things that I think modern pieces look really good still. A lot of modern repro stuff looks...
Oh neat, well that makes sense. Mine is such an obscure creat that is so difficult to find information on. It seems like that would make it less...
Sometimes if the seller doesn’t have a lot of $ in the item and the return postage is costly it’s cheaper for the to just let the seller keep the...
I sent the hotel an email. What I didn’t notice before is that the name of the family is at the bottom of the crest that comes up for the Cusco...
Yes thats what I thought and why I asked. It was in an auction lot about to end. I was going to bid but forgot and someone else got it. Oh well....

Thanks so much Marco & Deb for the killer research. Incredible that the history of the Order of Calatrava goes back so far. All this information...

Anyone know who this crest belongs/belonged to? Anyone doubt it’s original to the 17th or 18th century? It’s 8” square and nearly 2” thick. Very...
Pretty neat, I’ve never seen any like them. A bit phallic maybe. How’s it hangin?
The outside does look pretty silvery. The inside not quite as much. Too hard to say from photos!
A, G, I, H, I see some coin marks and shapes. I like the candles. Mostly I like the big old dirty collection that you know will have some good...
Saw these at a yard sale today. The lady selling them actually made them. I thought they were super duper cool. I wondered if this was her...
Like a shield boss type embellishment. Yeh, could be.
Other than being much smaller the example you provided does seem close. I didn’t find and others hand made and this size when I did an image...
