[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 4198518, member: 50"]It's a lovely bowl. Lucky you! I know almost nothing about crests however I do have a lone book with some examples of elements. If you have a name you can look up information but when trying to piece together the elements, not so straight forward. In addition the elements shown have variations mentioned once you have a name. Anyway I was wondering if it might be the combined crest of more than one family, perhaps from a marriage. I don't actually know how it works. Anyway, I found a three masted ship with just a few associated family names and an eagle with head turned with tons of family names. The eagle on the top looks the same as the eagle on the left to me but for the two stars. There are no examples of two stars shown on anything. So from Fairbairn's Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland. [ATTACH=full]334887[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334888[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334889[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334890[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
