I know a bloke who "adds" engravings to bits of brass and copper and sells them at car boot sales. One day, Old Bill wil get him.
Porridge certainly was served in a large bowl. Fruit was usually on large platters or footed comports/tazzas.

Vodka is best kept in the freezer and drunk neat. I'm partial to Polish bison grass stuff. Got a Monart vase yesterday. Rather pleased.
One of the many many Strourbridge factories, but there's honestly no way of knowing which . It won't affect the value. Late 19th C.
