Stag Crest / Mystery Tureen
« on: Saturday 27 May 17 20:59 BST (UK) »
Hello, any ideas on whose crest this is? It is on an antique tureen I found here in Ireland. It's a great image. Any help appreciated.

Who is the maker of the tureen?

Whereabouts on the tureen does this stag appear?

The tureen hasn't a makers mark unfortunately, the stag is on the side.

While my copy of Fairbairn's Crests shows a number of stag's heads erased and collared, it doesn't give any with the three crescents.

Sorry!

I take it is  a mark on pottery?
King Richard The second`s emblem was The White Hart but whether this has any connection with your tureen  I am unable to add any more info.
 I`d like to see the whole thing.

It looks like part of  a  service from a hotel, perhaps" The White Hart."
Richard the second`s emblem was a white hart but it would have had round its neck a coronet and this kind of pottery was not in use in his time, still had not come here from China.
Have you just this one piece?I can see it now full of roses or pot pourri in the centre of a polished dark oak table. Enjoy it.Viktoria.
