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.

Hello,
Maybe someone knowledgeable could help me find out whose crest this is? Its on a antique tureen I found here in Northern Ireland. Its a great image. Thanks!
-
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.

Very interesting, thank you.

Ah, I hadn't thought of it being from a hotel, interesting..

Something odd is happening.
I sent a reply, modified it and it disappeared.
Sent another which also disappeared.
Now the original un-modified one has re-appeared.
Try again-----I think the mark denotes the pottery is from a hotel.
Probably The White Hart or something like that.
If it was anything to do with Richard The second it would have a coronet round its neck but white pottery like this was as yet unknown in England at that time.Viktoria

Your reply about it being from a hotel is on the other thread! There are two threads running simultaneously on the same subject.

I've merged the topics together to prevent further duplication of effort.
The topic can remain on the Beginners Board where it might get more views.

I like Viktoria's idea that this may have belonged to a hotel. It does not look "posh" enough to have been from an important dinner service owned by someone wealthy. I wonder if it could be standard white crockery with gold decoration, purchased from a manufacturer, with the transfer pattern added as an optional extra?
-
I thought old age had finally crept up on me----- ::)
It would be made to order if not a transfer print, but mass made and the transfer then applied to standard stock I would think.There would be many pieces if rom a hotel.
Very nice to own such an item.
What do you propose to do with it?
Reminds me of the "sauce boat", taken to an antiques programme, it turned out to be a ladies` potty for "discrete " use at dinner parties. UGH! Viktoria.
