Coalport Armorial plate.Any heraldry experts out there?

I bought this plate on eBay. It has the diamond registration mark for 27 Jan 1845 - a design registered to John Rose Coalport

The moulding, gilding and enamels are all of a very high standard and it was clearly made for a wealthy family.

I have tried to identify the crest. The red hand of Ulster denotes an Irish family.

The arm “A Dexter Arm Embowed In Fess Ppr., Erect From The Elbow Vested, Frilled At The Shoulder, Holding In The Hand A Palm-Branch.” Is Frankland family according to a silver website.

But I’ve not found the lion with paw on a blue lozenge.

As identified services are always more desirable than unidentifiable I wonder if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks in advance

John

 

There are some on the board who are good (though sadly not me).

I do have a copy of Fairbairn's Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland, have you already looked there? I'm not particularly good at using it but will look if you haven't already.

 

It's not a book that I own I am afraid. I don't want you to go to too much trouble.

 

I'll give it a shot but no promises I'll find it (even if it's there).

 

First run through the crests I didn't see the lion/lozenge. I think this book works best if you already have a name rather than the other way around. (At least from my seldom usage I think that's true. )

I did find the Frankland info though it's London so not sure what that means.

 

Looks to me like it was a part of a wedding service?

 

It might be Lopes only the gorged with a bar gemelle "collar" might be missing. I found this online then checked with Fairbairn's.
