I have the jar you list as RRRR. The crystal palace. It has been made into a lamp. It was my grandmother's. I am curious as to the value. It is in good condition, no cracks or chips. I use it as a reading lamp. I can send a picture if you like.

Unreal beautiful collection of lids and pots you have pictured in this thread. I have but a dozen stoneware pieces in my entire collection. You've got a treasure trove of history. The work that had to go into each pot & lid is amazing. Thank goodness we're a consumer economy now with most artisans and their trades long gone from our shores - Not![:'(]

Many thanks for your kind comments. I will endeavour to post almost as many again that I have added to over the past 4 years.

Newest year greetings, John,

Nah, they're too nice for the likes-o-me. I'm an old picturenapper. I believe they're Oz-Riley's. Isn't he one of your members? I'm gonna have to stop in and have another visit. Check out what your lot has been digging & finding.

hi,with regard to the jar that shows the charge of the dragoons at balaklava,this refers to the charge of the Heavy Brigade not the Light Brigade.This charge took place before the ill-fated light brigade one,and unlike theirs,the Heavy Brigades charge was a total sucess even though they were vastly outnumbered by cossacks.Ironically if they had been allowed to persue the fleeing Russians the whole war would have been settled there and then but indicision on the part of the Commander Raglan gave the russians chance to reform !
The heavy brigade did start to follow the light brigade down the valley(it was a standard military tactic at that time for them to support the lights)but Raglan actually commanded they be recalled but not before 2 of the regiments had suffered more casualties than they had in the morning !
If you look at the jar they are wearing the Albert pattern helmet,designed by Queen Victoria's husband and only worn by the Heavies
