Title: Elsmore & Forster - replica or real?
Post by: Assun23 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
