Thanks for looking, and I'm pleased you enjoyed effort. To be honest, half the thinks I buy are for the enjoyment of the search that follows.
@Debora The seller came back to me; but couldn't add anything. In fact she said that they had been a rather poor family and she couldn't recall...
I'm sure it is the same; but then they have gone on and and completed the decorating. I have asked the woman who sold on behalf of her aunt, to...
I understand what you are saying, and agree, apart from my comments above on Madesclare.
@Debora Given his background I don't see Madesclaire selling white plates, and therefore can't see how a hobbyist would get hold of a plate to...

I'm a bit late to the dance; but the one backmark you have shown (ML) indicates that it was made at the Redon factory. and was used after 1896...

I'm coming round to considering it is most likely a drinking goblet. The standard fortified wine volume of a shot of brandy in France is 25ml and...
Thank you. One learns something every time one visits Antiquers.
I tried drinking from it at great personal risk and it was remarkably comfortable with the rounded lip. Also it seemed a bit too deep and narrow...
Cast Pewter Tripod _____??? I collect eggcups and bought these two on Sunday at a French brocante. Then I spent a couple of hours cleaning them...
