Really unusual crested china jug/trophey with a crest that say's
'mihi parta tueri'
No chips/cracks and some of the gilding appears rbbed.Other than that excellent condition.
Done a bit of research into this crest and found the following ....
John le Strange, 1st Lord of Knockin created the earliest known coat of arms by applying its red background when he displayed two argent lions passant. Attached to this the blood thirsty motto ‘mihi parta tueri’
(I will fight for/defend what is mine)
THANKS FOR LOOKING :)
