    Hi all - I am excited to explore some of the items we have that I am clueless about. My husband's family collected lots of things and had much reason to do so! Thomas Jefferson is his 6th great uncle and we have Jefferson letters and many other items in our possession. Those things we received after his mother passed were documented by Motley's Auctions here in Richmond, Va. Many items, however, she gave us along the way and there is no record. My husband's father was a doctor here in town and they travelled much. He was a renaissance man in the truest sense and they knew art and collectibles. We have a a lot of pewter from either England, Scotland or Ireland.

    Here is one piece that made me curious...I googled every iteration of this name and lots of pottery descriptions and found nothing. Since it is numbered I thought I'd throw it out somewhere like this!

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    Hola, and welcome!
    What a wonderful heritage! As a first generation citizen, that history is so wonderfully... American!
    You'll find many kindred souls here, tons of brainiacs (not me). Pottery experts, too.
    Good to "meet" you.
