[01-2895] I find this inscription rather charming. It is on a master butter by Clemens Oskamp. Note that in the first pic the name is spelled Gordie and looks professional done. On the other side the name is spelled Gorgie and note the different fonts more crudely done and also the Germanic looking Dez. I also like the fox head terminal. IP: Logged |

Very charming. However I read a and not o as second letter. And on the other hand wat you read as C might very vell be a G. So reading is difficult. But we can just admire the buaty of the engraving. IP: Logged |

Neat. I believe the pattern is "Fox Head" by F.A. Bunnell. IP: Logged |

Hmmm maybe the two names are different but that wouldn't really make sense. This does appear to be the foxhead pattern but the only marks are a C in a diamond followed by an O in a diamond. IP: Logged |

Could one name be the donor and the other the recipient. Also interesting that "from" is in English but "Dez (rather than Dec) 25" suggests German or the like. IP: Logged |

Perhaps the recipient was named after the giver and they had different nicknames so the family wouldn't get them mixed up. IP: Logged |

The name in the first image is Gardie. It seems to have been used more than the name it was derived from which was Gardenia. [This message has been edited by bascall (edited 01-11-2011).] IP: Logged |
