Oh lord, anywhere I could. We’d wear bonkers stuff to go shopping up west!
I think it’s not just about the mix, but how it was mixed and made. And no one quite knows the secret.

I showed it off a while back, hang on, I’ll find the thread.
That screams seventies, I wore them.
I own both pinchbeck and brass stuff. Pinchbeck is much lighter, much brighter, and indeed, doesn’t smell. It’s much finer and more delicate too...
It gets misdescribed as brass. Luckily! Bloke I got my necklace from thought it was modern costume .
Whut? oh Bronwen! Pinchbeck isn’t glorified brass and it can be incredibly collectible and costly. The real thing, Georgian, isn’t that common...
It’s more like Honiton or early Poole to my eye. I don’t see tea stains either, it’s a buff clay body, that’s all.
And envy, my car boot chum found a saphiret pendant for a whole fifty pence.
That’s British, thirties.
Try the BISPM database as well, it’s excellent.
Absolutely chameleon. And an Irish potter wouldn’t sign England.
That looks right, Bronwen. It’s copying a Minton glaze which was based on Persian ones. As is the shape.
Agreed, it doesn’t look new. That’s proper wear.
I’ve found the Potty one to be far better, tbh. They give reasons.
I think you can’t rule out the German connection.
The Potty British Porcelain and Pottery Group is actually better, and doesn’t pull the trick of turning comments off either.
Aha. try again on the Potty British Pottery and Porcelain group. Much nicer bunch.
I hate it when admins do that. At least let people comment. Was it the Potty group?
