  1. I have discovered that it is likely to be 1835 and stamped in Southampton to show that it was the right size and the publican is not ripping off customers by giving them less booze. The patina which...
  2. Thank you Dav, much appreciated.
  3. It looks like an upside-down earthstar fungi ;)
  4. What a great find!!
  5. Agree, I thought they would be easy to find as possible mass produced - it’s a mystery.
  6. Wow is it unusual aluminium? I was thinking 18th c but can’t imagine they used aluminium back then ?
  7. I am thinking potentially French, but also gives me Church like vibes. Thank you for all your help.
  8. Thank you, Bhifos, any excuse to not clean is appreciated; it would have been quite a hard job, I reckon. Phil, I have uploaded a picture of the base in place of one of the previous ones.
  9. Thank you Dav2no1, will give it a bash :)
  10. Thank you ;) will google now.
  11. Thank you I couldn't read the Makers part of the mark, and this is really helpful. I think there is possibly a piece missing from this as it is simply a pull-off. A great find though so very happy...
  12. Wow thanks Phil, it is a sturdy piece for sure.
  13. Thank you Kermikos :)
  14. I have uploaded a few more, however, one has been turned on its side, I tried to turn it back but it still uploads sideways. Thanks
  15. Interesting, this mug feels really old, wonder when they were first invented ;) Thank you
  16. Uk, I brought it alongside a Polish one, and I had also checked and couldn't find anything so wonder if it from abroad - very good point, thank you ;)
  17. Ahhh thank you so much Kwqd, very helpful and it is now cleaned up and out of the garden ;)
  18. Thank you I have added some more information - the swirls are definitely some form of metal as it feels a bit rusty ????
  19. Apparently Fischer - Istanbul - interesting one.
  20. Ooh, thanks Phil, very helpful.
  21. I had a Fisher Price one exactly like this in the 80's, such a great piece, play some tunes and enjoy ;)
  22. Love this !
  23. It is 6 cm's in height and across the top of the bowl 9 cm's with the bottom circle 4 cm's - hope this helps ;) thank you
  24. Ooooh thank you never even thought it might be chinese!
  25. Think you are right, thank you ;)
  26. That's amazing thank you Apostata, enjoy your snoozing x
  27. At the bottom of the bowl there is yellowy bits where the colour has chipped off, I didn't think it was a koko until I saw the last photo which shows a face with the round black blob on.
  28. The second photo with the shell-like feet moulded is the bottom.
  29. It is open it is a bowl.
  30. The last photo is showing a Koko with similar faces to the ones on this piece. This piece is only the first three photos. Wow so chuffed with your views ;) I wonder if it is a Koko.
  31. Where is @apostata when you need him
  32. Hi Lizzie, it is a money box, the slot for the money is at the top. I have extracted one coin so far and it is dated 1871. There's a few more in there but you have to get it just right to be able t...
  33. Happy belated 4th July ;)
  34. Ohh thank you Dav!
  35. Do you think it is a copy rather than an original? Will check out the link - thank you
  36. Thank you Ivan, really helpful ;)
  37. Ohh thank you Ho2Cultcha, hadn't thought about it being possibly french. Interesting ;) on google search nothing comes up at all, and the mark is very hard to read. Thanks
  38. Brilliant - thank you so much ;)
  39. Really is and very heavy, would love to be able to date it. Thank you so much for your input.
  40. Ahh thank you Kwdq ;) thank you very much
  41. By way of update - The Art gallery have just said "unfortunately we don't have any other information, we are sure that the paintings are beautiful and come from an important collection, the price is 7...
  42. They are very cute, have to say, and definitely canvas, I wonder if they are fake "Samys" very interesting. I have asked the Art Gallery for more information, if they respond, I will let you know :) ...
  43. Thank you so much, great info, really good suggestion I will get in touch with them!

  47. This also is a possibility https://www.20thcenturyforum.com/t21504-wilhelm-schiller-sons-and-unidentified-jug
  48. It's very unusual for sure, the Charity Shop I brought it had it out the back for months because they couldn't find anything on it at all, and weren't sure whether it was worth more or not, needless t...
  49. It feels like some kind of clay or terracotta, it is dull to touch, but really stumped on this one, so thanks for responding!
  50. Yes very similar I have just looked Laura, very difficult to find out any information although I have just seen another similar one which states it is a Vintage Small Chinese Carved Red ‘Cinnabar’ Lac...
