Apologies for not posting correctly. I'm not very computer literate and hadn't realised I could post an actual image - at least I didn't understand how to. I read the link you provided and will try to embed an image properly next time. Thanks for the advice. I had put both spoons on together because...

If not I've done it as an Img rather than as a URL. I've no idea what is the difference, but maybe on...
Hi, I've an interesting jug with what I believe are Walker and Hall marks but am puzzled about the date. Would be obliged if anyone can tell me. Also, does this design have a name? https://www.flickr.com/photos/50003434@ ... 8771923782
