Antique Questions Forum / Elsmore & Forster - replica or real?
« on: December 20, 2005, 10:32:54 am »
Hi there
I wondered if anyone would be able to help me with my research on an Elsmore & Forster puzzle jug. I have had trouble attaching a photograph but it portrays cock fighting and a harlequin/joker on either side. On the base it says "Imperial Parisian Granite, Elsmore & Forster" and the mark is a sort of coat of arms with an eagle inside. I have seen a few similar jugs online but with the unicorn/lion coat of arms and so wondered if mine must be just a replica? It has certainly been in my family for many years but I know very little about it.
I would appreciate any help or advice.
Best regards
Lucy
