Enoch Wedgwood & Sons, IOW. He was a cousin of some sort to Josiah, but pieces from this company never commanded the prices of the other...

J. McC-something?
No training here beyond a few random bits in Choir practice.

Boules, lawn bowling or bocce for the game on the box - depends on where you are. It's still played in Italy by all sorts of guys. The big copper...
Amazonite on the cross for me too.
Posting from a $)(**($# phone, where typos are many and correct auto-corrects are few. Those were some nice beads for 5 quid each. I'd have...
