Georgian Rare Steel Cased Tuning Fork
About the Item
A very unusual and rare Georgian antique steel cased tuning fork dating from around 1800. A wonderful piece of musical interest and history the tuning fork is made in similar shape to more modern pieces and is hand crafted from steel with a two pronged loop mounted on a turned and shaped handle with a small wide rounded end which allows it to stand on a flat surface and when the prongs are gently tapped the vibration creates the note. The tuning fork comes in its original fitted case. The tuning fork is not marked and while we have attributed it as possibly of British origin it could equally have originated from Continental Europe. None the less a rare and interesting item.
In good condition with wear associated with age and use.

- Staffordshire Georgian Two Pearlware Religious Printed Childs Plates with VerseBy StaffordshireLocated in Bishop's Stortford, HertfordshireTwo fine English Georgian, probably Staffordshire, child’s pearlware plates decorated with religious scenes and verse dating from the early 19th century. The finely potted plates are of octagonal shape both with relief molded fruit and floral designs to the rim, one hand painted and other simply glazed rim but with a pink lustre edge. Due to the edge patterning being the same we believe the plates to have originated from the same pottery. Both plates have printed religious scenes to the center with printed prayers, possibly as teaching aids for children. One has a scene of Christ rising from the dead with a prayer reading ‘Behold him rising from the grave. Behold him raised on high. He pleads his merit there to save Transgressor doom’d to die.’ The scene shows soldiers, some sleeping around the entrance to the tomb. The second plate shows a child reading...Category
