Properly hung for 28 days, ideally. In the old days people used to wait by the gallows with a calendar.
I was once unable to understand what a dinner lady was saying, so, being genuinely curious, I said "Are you deaf?" because that might explain the...
Briefly, no.
Not only unpalatable but don't think that is even a silver spoon. :-(
Could be British but I'm inclined to think American. I think the Germans at that time simply chewed up the walnuts, shells and all.
I'm thinking I see a couple or three of 19th C. coin spoons in there as well.
I'd just call the pattern rococo revival and it's those men in a shed again. I agree late 19th C. It was the worlds champion era for fiddly bits...
Those spoons and so on would go in the day to day cutlery drawer, to use instead of the solid service we use when dining instead of just eating....
The school dinners at my primary school were edible only for the very hungry, like the poor people. The amount of education I missed by spending...
Off hand I'd say that it is used.
The lug beside the stud is a weird design feature. The only way that could fit into the hole clearly designed for it is if the pestle is first...
Apart from the bread and wine, I have no idea. It's not the sort of name Terry Pratchett would give to a dwarf, famous as great rat eaters in...
Eee, lass, compared to the stewed gravel and dirt breadless sandwiches the poor folks ate, it were a real treat. But how we envied the rich folk...
I have you know that my mother's rat's tail and dog nose surprise was much talked about in our town, when I were a lad.
I'd call it a rococo tazza. If you'd not said Italian I'd have thought German.
It clearly dates from a period when it was fashionable to give skimpily dressed women enormous jugs.
I'd not say the early to mid 18th C date was impossible, or even unlikely. Even though the new pictures show a smooth profile.
Is there just a trace of dognose in the end of the handle? If so it could date to the period whnt the dognose was turning into the parabolic?
Looks like 12 loth upside down.
Flat nails with roughly upset heads. I also see wire nails (round nails with round heads)
Separate names with a comma.
