I know this porcelains are Royal Copenhagen's Blue Flower Tureen and half lace cup & saucer, but these seem to be different from the original blue flower color and pattern / original half lace color and pattern.
Did someone with a good painting skill paint on white porcelain as a hobby?
This is a very large, heavy solid copper cauldron. I have seen others described as for candy apple making from the 1800s. It has a beautiful patina. Made in what I have read as the "cramp" style or dovetailed seams. No dents. I can't find any marking. 23" wide (28" at the handles) x 8.5" tall. This is an incredible find for the size alone.
I bought this child's desk at an auction about the 17 years ago. Potentially from the 1890s. I cannot find anything exactly like it to gauge its value. Condition is very good for age with minor imperfections that look like they're made by a student. All original hardware is intact and in working condition. Drawer shows handmade dovetail construction. Top tips up beautifully. Some slight water staining inside the drawer. I am wondering if this is E. W. A. Rowles but there are no markings. This is a gorgeous desk.
