Title: Help identifying item
Post by: Stu27 on November 17, 2011, 02:47:10 PM

Hi all, what i have here is a jug/vase. It has "mattatone" and the word "fieldings". I cannot find any reference to this on the internet so was hoping someone could help me out. I have posted pitures. Hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance

One very similar to yours near the bottom of this page:

No trick, just one of my computers has four processors and can image search quick. The laptop is much slower.

Image search is great, mart.

An example: all I did was type: Feildings Mattatone pottery at google. Instead of hitting for a web search, at the top (left) of the page by the word web, you'll find "images".
Hit it instead. Now you are searching through photographs.

Oh my! If I was counting on for what was in my head, I'd never be of help here! LOL! I don't know about antiques. I am learning from all of you though. But it will take years, I think. Just finding out about my own stuff took forever!

Well, I sure didn`t mean all the info was in my head,, just that I knew where to look already !!  I will have to try that image search sometime !!  Thanks !! I am sure that this computer will do a lot of things I haven`t tried yet !!
