<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Darkwing Manor, post: 2034820, member: 738&quot;]About that rose.... I noticed it has six petals, so I did some digging. Found this reference to the difference between 5 and 6 petalled roses. <a href="https://www.mfordcreech.com/Late_17th_Century_West_Country_Silver_Counter_Box_Servant.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.mfordcreech.com/Late_17th_Century_West_Country_Silver_Counter_Box_Servant.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.mfordcreech.com/Late_17th_Century_West_Country_Silver_Counter_Box_Servant.html</a> </p><p>&quot;The rose of England is a five-petaled bloom. The white Tudor rose, also of 5 petals, was that of James II, as Duke of York.</p><p>The six-petaled rose later became a well known symbol on glassware of the Jacobite movement (first half of the 18th century).</p><p>The exact reason for addition of the additional 6th petal on glassware is yet unstated.&quot;</p><p>Not sure if it is true, what do you think? Could it be a Jacobite piece, or just more Victorian excess?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
