Message:: [QUOTE="wcubed, post: 1288451, member: 12663"]These actually were my grandfathers, who was born in 1910.  I have very little handed down from that side of the family.  All are engraved with his name George.  It's been a while since I've had them out of the cabinet.  They are in need of a good polishing again. [ATTACH=full]218282[/ATTACH] The cup features circus animals from a childrens book of that era.  Does anyone know the name of the characters or book.  I was going to buy the book to keep with the cup, and actually stopped at an antiquarian book store years ago to buy one and they had just sold it.  I never did get around to looking further, and have since forgotten the name.  Should have written it down! The cup is marked C.D. Peacock on the bottom.  2 5/16 inches high. It was obviously banged around quite a bit by my grandfather.

The bowl is 2 1/8 inches high and 4 7/8 inches across. [ATTACH=full]218277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]218278[/ATTACH] The plate measures 7 7/16 inches across.
