Old cheese dish,

Hello all
(newbie alert)
clearing out my mums house, what do I do with this , Ive put it on Vinted but I cannot find who made it, I did look in the marks link and no joy, or I missed it

Thank you for reading , appreciate it

 

First, you can have up to 10 pics in a thread, an' many pics are better...then, when you add pics to a thread, click on the top of their list where it says "Full Image"...we will all have a much better understanding of what you're showing us, an' how to help. Good luck!

 

Thank you for the reply , I clicked on the image I loaded and it went full size
but I appreciate not every one could do that, forgive me Im still playing with sizes and settings :\

 

and.... this

 

I correct myself: that should be in a post.

 

Clignancourt?

 

Thank you , the first icons look very close

 

While I don't know anything about Clignancourt other than a quick Google. (which I believe shows their windmill mark to be 18th C. Perhaps there is more to it than that.)

I'm thinking yours looks very much like a Chinese modern-ish piece. Hope I'm wrong.

 

Your google found more than mine did
Thank you for the input

 

You are not wrong. One of the multitude of fakes/imitations coming out of China/Southeast Asia. The uniform over-all crazing which has been artificially darkened gives it away. The mark looks like an imitation of Clingincourt which would be wrong for an item that resembles a 19th c British covered cheese dish. However, welcome to Antiquers, and the photos are great!

 

Agree with modern-ish, likely Made in China imitation. That all-over crazing/crackling is a dead giveaway. Nevertheless, a nice decorative piece, though with minimal value.

 

Thank you for all the replies, I do appreciate it
I will go hunt for some other stuff to amuse you

 

Please do! You may amaze and amuse us!

 

I think I know what this one is, Q. what do you think its worth, just for fun no prizes

 

it's very pretty........ $10 or more !

 

It's a Hines Bros Heron Cross cheese dish, circa 1889. Pretty! One is for sale on eBay and Ruby Lane (same photos so same seller) for $125 but that's just an asking price.

 

It is pretty, and for the right market I think it might make that, I did a listing on eBay for another piece from my mums house, I made the mistake of starting bidding at .99p and some bought it for ... .99p (sigh) you live and learn but I guess it went to someone who valued it
