The Bowl has some size to it as it stands 3 5/8" tall and is 12" in diameter outside rings measurements. The bowl itself is 11 1/2" in diameter. This Bowl has a wonderful hand hammered copper background texture. The top lip is rolled and hand hammered as well. There are 2 large rings that are applied evenly at opposite ends. The Patina is a wonderful craftsman brown on the outside with a deep Verdi green on the inside. This Bowl is considered to be in good condition as there are no Cracks or major dents to the Metal. The Vase does show signs of use on the inside. It appears that it was used as a planter because of the calcium deposits and the Verdi Green Patina. The outside shows many scratches and wear in the patina. The Bowl is signed on the bottom. It has the Impressed "Craftsman Studios Handmade at Laguna Beach Calif" signature mark along with the shape Number "837" and "Utah Copper" which is also impressed into the metal.

Heavy brass novelty nutcrackers in the form of ladies legs. Probably Indian made for the English market. These were popular around the Edwardian era, and still (mostly) get a laugh today. They measure 12 am long. There is a cosmetic small split in one of the feet, along the line where there is a join in the mould. Not serious, just noting it for accuracy's sake. Would polish up well.   « Less

English Victorian pewter quart mug, with the marks for the reign of Victoria, (pre 1878) and the other county ciphers. Also seven other capacity seal marks for the reign of Edward VII. Made by James Yates of Birmingham. Lovely mellow baluster shape. Has a few body dents, and the rim is out of round a little. Mug measures 18.5 cm high, rim to handle is 18 cm, and diameter of body is 11 cm. The top 3/4 of the mug is a lovely mellow pewter colour, the lower third is paler - maybe it sat in fluid up to this mark, changing the colour? Or is it just that dust has settled on the top, and not coloured the base which it overhangs. Old repair mark under the base, which all but obliterates the RMC mark for the Royal Marines at Chatham Dockyards in Portsmouth.   « Less

Early Victorian large quart pewter tankard, maker James Yates. Reign marks for Queen Victoria, pre 1878, using V, then the crown, followed by R. Underneath this is O and underneath that is 587. Underneath this is a solitary 1. There are three other authorized capacity seal marks, one tiny one to the left of the Victorian mark which is virtually unreadable, and two others which I think are E Crown R, possibly King Edward VII. Underneath the mug is stamped R M C, which would be the Royal Marines, at Chatham base, Portsmouth. (We have three other mugs from the same household, one of which is stamped fully for this). Mug measures 18 cm high, rim to handle is 18 cm, and diameter of body is 11 cm. The top 3/4 of the mug is a lovely mellow pewter colour, the lower third is paler - maybe it sat in fluid up to this mark, changing the colour? Or is it just that dust has settled on the top, and not coloured the base which it overhangs. Top rim is slightly out-of-round, and there are mellow age marks, no actual dents though. It weighs 709g.   « Less
