Nice cup, anyone know what it is?
Hi,
Ive had this cup for years but never looked it up...just never got around to it-does anyone know who made it or how old it is?
Thanks in advance.

The Gardeners Arms....water jug
Hi
this is I believe a jug used by the Gardeners arms for people to add water to their whisky. It seems to have a sailors poem on the back which is strange for an eatablishment called the farmers arms! The piece is very heavy and feels like it was built to last...with all the whisky drinkers handling it I suppose it had to be sturdy!

A very ornate printed cup
Hi,
I like this cup, it is so busy! The chap riding the horse clinches it for me, this cup has everything...except a makers mark!!! As usual if anyone has any information on what this actually is...

A couple of printed cups...
Hi,
these two cups are interesting because they have unusual printed subjects, both are pleasant and will tell a story to anyone willing to think about them. Bath time...its my favourite and anyone who is my age may well remember a tin bath in front of the fire! I like to think my pottery collection is also a reference for any historian...written records are only a fraction of the evidence that is out there!

Printed Blue and White cup
Sometimes a piece of pottery just caught my eye and I bought it not because it had a wow factor but because it had a sort of understated dignity. This cup is one such item, it has obviously had a working life and as soon as it is picked up one notices immediatley how heavy it is. Why it is so heavy I have no idea but this cup has given someone long service and now it is a pleasure to view it.
This cup has no makers marks which is a shame as it is a quality item!
