I am interested in finding out exactly what this object it - i dug it up when i was metal detecting, it was buried about 9inches down, filled with soil and green in colour - i initially thought that it looked like a grenade!
I have a matching set of Swinnertons gold rimmed creamer and sugar bowl. these are quite small in size compared to others from the time period. The bottom of the items has the following: "Swinnertons" in all caps, under that a lamp and under that "STAFFORDSHIRE" and then under "ENGLAND". There is a pretty flower design on two sides of each item.
The serial number of this chest is 333260 the style number is 48391x. I have no idea what the lovely ornate details are? I also can not find any other chests that look like mine online anywhere and I have spent days searching!! Any information that anyone may have on this would be very much appreciated!
