I looked it up, not a popular spelling probably because in Latin Tristam means ‘full of sorrows’.
The prices for his paintings are confusing too as some pretty high and some quite low.

 

I can't tell. I suppose it might be possible, but it's not focused well enough to say with any certainty.

 

Looks like Webster to me too. https://www.925-1000.com/ax_webster.html

 

May be the Lismore pattern which is quite poular. I am sure someone out there has damaged one of theirs & would love to replace it with a good one. The siggie at the bottom is probably one of the cutters or designers & signed it on QVC or another "signing event" which were quite popular during the 1990's.

 

The question is whether yours has the high straight cuts above the diamond at the bottom. I can't see any in your pictures.

 

Excellent! It was awful hard to see that.

 

And if you are ever in South Jersey during late summer, I will take you to my flea markets and thrifts and Cape May! In late summer, our white Silver Queen corn comes in. We boil a huge pot of water, pick and husk the corn, and boil. Butter and salt to taste. Fresh-picked and immediately cooked keeps the corn super sweet before the sugars turn to starches. I have never had roasted corn, that would be a great treat!

 

Meet Jungle Pete! Got this at an estate auction over the weekend. He didn't come cheap but I really liked him.

I remember silver queen; they used to grow it in Connecticut too. My dad used to talk about Country Gentleman corn; it was a butter and sugar variety. I haven't seen silver queen in yoinks. My mom said her mother said the best way to cook corn was to set a pot of water boiling at the bottom of a hill. Pick the corn running down the hill and shuck on the way. Plop in the water when you get to the bottom.
