deer porcelain set
      #3018 - 28/05/03 03:58 PM

Pics are of a set of antique porcelain that i bought due to the deer on them and their obvious age,
The "Long Walk" is where the royal deer were kept at Windsor Castle many years ago and DB Banwell tells about it in his book "the Royal Stags Of Windsor" i swapped correspondence with Bruce about this set and gave him permission to use my pics for publication on his asking.Unfortunately i cant give more details of the ornately decorated cups etc as i only flatbed scanned these two and dont have a digital camera,(didnt think of that eh fella`s) I have even scanned a rifle stock in my scanner and will post a pic of it for you to drool over shortly.
I posted here as i am not sure too many go to "collectors page"

Very nice. Now you need an old display cabinet from Central Europe, carved with all sorts of game scenes to display it in.

Not as nice as an old antique set like yours but when I visited the Czech Republic last year I bought a set of crockery (modern manufacture) with game scenes - red, fallow, roe deer, boar, ducks, pheasant, rabiits or hares etc.

The purchasing of it was quite and adventure and I thought it never would actually arrive! We were in one of those small walled towns/cities (can't remember the name as I can't pronounce them anyway) and I wanted to buy a set of crystal or similar. We stopped in one of the many shops for the tourists and liked this set of crockery. Unfortunately the sales staff spoke NO English and our German did not seem to be understood. So my wife in frustration just approached a couple of other female tourists looking over the shop and asked if they spoke English. As many Germans do, they spoke next to perfect English and one of them was a teacher on holiday. She helped us make the purchase. When finished we thanked her profusely and she told us the shop assistant was very very stupid . Anyway the shipment was insured so I thought we would at least get our money back if it never arrived. About seven months later it arrived, all in one piece too .

When I lived in Europe I also travelled over to the La Sologna (spelling?) forest in France in the Loire Valley (for the wine of course + the Castles and many hunting "lodges"). And purchased as a souveneir a set of game scenes on plates - one a horse hunt after a red stag, the others boar, red deer and roe deer. These are decorative only.

Gryphon - If you ever pass this way drop in and we will eat a game dinner off the Czech hunting crockery. Plus some nice Barossa shiraz.
