Antique Questions Forum / Edward Moore and Co Glass Milk Jug - 1888

« on: December 03, 2011, 04:38:14 am »

Hi everyone! 
Just received this item which I won from ebay. It is the same as this one (Rd 109612 2nd Oct. 1888) fromthis site http://www.murrayam.supanet.com/moore.html.  Imagine my joy when I found the site and thought, finally, I got something that is recorded! But when I looked at it closely, found some stuff which made me doubt  Attached photos show some imperfections I wasn't expecting... site said that Edward Moore & Co were reputed for good quality products. However... 2nd & 3rd photos (encircled/rectangled in red) show that the jug seemed to have been formed in more than sections and "glued" together.  First photo shows protrusion on the edge of the mouth of the jug.... the underside edge is rough/uneven...  did I expect too much? Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Thanks!! 

P.S. Have been trying to attach photos but they won't...

I have been researching about imari plates since I bought one on ebay, and some articles mentioned that earlier imari plates do not have marks, and those that have had been made for special occasions as weddings. I had it valued online and was told that imari plates carrying no marks at the back is 'not the case.' Mine has the three-lobed panels crossed sutra scroll. would very much appreciate any enlightenment.

Yes, Mart, it is a scratched PM also.... I must say I have not encountered Wheatley Pottery in my searches.  So far have only found Wilhelmina Post, Wellington and Winchcombe Pottery...!  Thanks! appreciate the feedbacks... will check it out also.

I have bought this item from ebay recently. I have searched the internet for the mark but couldn't find anything that will give light to the pottery's mark at the bottom. Does anyone know what/who it is? And which era/circa? Thanks so much!
