      Does this help?

      It's like USDshit-loads at retail, I found an as-new one on US eBay for USD50 and had it shipped to Chris @Wesco, who popped it in with a shipment of boots….

        Yes thanks that helps. I couldn't sort the design. They are invaluable in an industrial kitchen when we cook 15 lbs of pasta at a time, or make 30 gallons of demi glace.

        I need a new kitchen, with one of those installed.

            My first attempt at Ramen.  Needs more work  🙂 🙂

              those bowls are gorgeous Giles. Did you use your homemade noodles from the other day?

              We (used to) frequent a Japanese restaurant for ramen but haven't been in quite awhile.

              You are making me crave Ramen, but i also miss my favorite appetizer.

              If you want to keep on the Japanese theme in the kitchen, I highly recommend trying Chicken Kaarage (Japanese fried chicken).

                The bowls are 19th century Minton, the pattern is Amherst Japan.  Ever since the first time I saw one, I fell in love. I buy them whenever I find one at a good price.  I have a few now  🙂

                My favourite colourway, but exceedingly hard to find…..

                I will try the Kaarage, thank you.

                          @Giles I love that pattern.  Gorgeous.

                          Do you have any idea what this pattern is?  Found it in an Antique shop and it’s my favourite tea cup/saucer.

                            Thank you, and because the pattern is "Japan" it's very appropriate….

                            Re: yours, I don't I am afraid.  I'm no expert but I'm guessing it is genuinely oriental as there are no western markings on it....

                            I bidding on this as a present for P atm....

                              @Giles What a great present!

                              Also quick question about the Giles and Paula cups/mugs? on your shelf.  I like the seal with the underwater mine, and the crab with the torpedo.  Where did you find those?

                                Aren't they amazing.  They were a present from some very good German friends.  They were at my Kanreki in The Explosion Museum

                                https://www.nmrn.org.uk/explosion-museum-naval-firepower

                                Incidentally, on the foreshore in front of which, is where I fish a lot and where I found this hyper-cool stone shot from the 17th Century lying in the mud…

                                The setting of, and artefacts in,  Explosion left a lasting impression on them, so they had these made with images that conjured up memories of that party…...

                                  So very cool and something to be cherished.  Also like the cannon shot/history.  Everyone dreams of being a Astronaut, policeman, doctor growing up.  I wanted to be a pirate…

                                    @Giles Thank you for the link to the Explosion Museum.  I've just spent an hour reading about the Armada Maps and the battles depicted.  Great history lesson.

                                      It's a really great museum….

                                      For my Kanreki, we had the whole joint.  People could go anywhere and do anything....But the meal and the dancing happened in the Grand Magazine.....
