<p>[QUOTE="Wyn4670, post: 4328810, member: 25505"]Hello from Queensland Australia</p><p>Relocating 80 year old parents and clearing out their home of 60 years. My Mother got these from her Mother and understood they were her Mother's, so my great grandmother's. Likely bought to Australia from England in mid-1800s if the recollections are correct. As per the photos, there is some damage yet they've been handed down generation to generation so obviously valued by the family ... rightly or wrongly.</p><p>They are approximately 16cms (6") tall; the tops are highlighted with gold and are not perfectly round so ? hand thrown. One has a male and female lion on; the other, a pair of tigers which I assume are also male and female. Bottom mark is 096 or 960 depending on which way you look at it. No other markings which I'd suspect means they're probably nothing but thought I'd query out of respect to my Mum and Grandmother! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie13" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Any thoughts or comments welcomed.
