coming back again to Hajdamach's book, some of the examples of machine acid etched work he shows, are almost unbelievably complex.      And then some hand finishing afterwards!

Assuming this biscuit barrel wasn't a one off, and assuming the pattern was Registered at some time, I'll look in my Archive pix later and see if it's there.

good find Roy - thanks for sharing.                   Like that wheel engraved script on these older pieces, and makes sense to put it on the inside where the surface is smoother and it won't look obtrusive..........alhthough guess it could perhaps have been put externally on the base.    Makes you wonder for how long a design such as this was manufactured.

Something from Tuesday mornings or perhaps a south coast town.

sorry Roy, think I've just goofed...............I believe it is externally on the base.          Obviously back to Specsavers.

Hi Paul

It was a Tuesday late morning find. I do not mind saying it was Sandown Park. You are correct 2nd time that the lozenge is on the base .
Its a nice quality piece and I have no intention of parting with it. Strange that you were only checking info at Kew a few weeks ago

great place, I agree, things you'd never imagine could be seen  -  trouble is the cashpoint machine is too near at hand
