Now there's a topic. Red wine is supposed to be room temperature, but that means 15 degrees or so, NOT 25! And indeed, in France, light red wines...
Hnh. One of ours. I'm trying to remember who did similar, someone like Queen Anne possibly. No cooler involved, these were sold as "claret"...
Jeroen, if you don't get an answer here, there's a very good West German pottery Facebook group.
Not Scottish. What's it on? Might even be plate marks.

Well well! Nicely found Cheryl.
It reads Holzhauer. I suspect a very competent crafter.
Aha. I learned a different version of the explanation, based in part on the Cathar wars. One was the language of those who lost, basically, and...

Inside of cupboard and of the drawers, please, plus reverse of handles, and lock and a photo of the hinges. Interesting, in that it looks as...
That looks like a pretty typical garden or park bench to me. Early 20th or so. Bit of a clean and some teak oil would bring it up nicely.
Ferns are Magic, Fascination, Confidence and Shelter. Designs continued and still do, so whilst this might look a tad Victorian, there's no...
Incidentally, no reason it won't be silver. Small things were often not hallmarked. Background to the woman looks like Brighton.
I'm convinced they exist. I do love the conceit of how they used things. I still stare at little objects, like tothpaste tube tops and think...
Separate names with a comma.
