Stag Crest / Mystery Tureen

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.
