RARE ANTIQUE Gilt And Blue Mug Possibly Early Masons Or Staffordshire
Posted by admin On April 22, 2024
Beautiful example of an old mug. Research indicates that this is mostly an early Masons or Staffordshire mug. There appears to have perhaps been a circular type stamp but this is difficult to determine. C is marked on the base. There is wear to the gilt for this piece and some wear/scratches including around the inside of the mug (see photos) there is wear to all examples of this early piece found online and so this is to be expected. Blue and gilt gold floral/foliage pattern. Early piece Circa 18-19th. 10cm diameter of base. 11cm diameter of rim. 16cm rim-end of mug handle.

Antique Rare Military Belt Buckle With Lion Gilt Brass Buckle Early Military
Posted by admin On April 7, 2023
ANTIQUE RARE MILITARY BELT BUCKLE WITH LION GILT BRASS BUCKLE – EARLY MILITARY. Very interesting and scarce antique belt buckle – the belt seems to be standard British army belt that was first used in the 19th century, bullion thread onto red leather with compartments to the inside. The buckle itself is frustratingly difficult to pin down to a country or regiment, the metal has been gilt and not machined like the ww2 era buckles which leads me to suspect it’s earlier. Adorned with acorns by belt loops – reminds me of the German buckles but of course no lions although the ottoman lion with German acorns may represent the ww1 alliance? Perhaps an ottoman regiment? It’s a bit of an enigma, although the quality and age speaks for itself! This item is in the category “Collectables\Badges & Patches\Collectable Badges\Military Badges”.
