Nice items, I hadn't heard of Candy Ware before. I think quite a few people have been bored over Christmas, we've had items sell every day and we...
If it is sculp then I think it more likely that the top line is the engraver's name. I am not sure the scene is the tyrol or sicily, I was...
So, engraved in 187...
Just goes to show, my mind was fixed on it being a person rather than a place. I'm thinking that if we do guess right then we should be able to...
See if you can work out the person whose name is hidden below the fishermen (I can't!) Probably no real value in plate, just a bit of fun to keep...
I think it is getting harder, but not impossible, to source good items cheaply. Charity shops mostly send interesting items to specialist...

So we are busy researching the blue and white lots from our Dec 6th auction buys. The cobalt blue and white items at the back have an R inside the...
We thought so too :) And the teapot and jug have already sold. I think it helps if you own the only ones for sale ;)
Might do, the mark in Godden is different but has a crown above.
Owned, I dont think it is the auction house, I think that Phillips were retailers with various London addresses and were at Mount st between...
Sunderland lustreware Mariner's Compass bowl, with uplifting verses! Another item from the auction horde :) [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
I think it is lovely. I dont go along with the oft quoted view that damage kills value. It may reduce value but the advantage of your pot is...
Just getting round to dealing with our early December horde of auction buys. Mostly sorting through the old blue and white at the moment but we...
