    ‘One and All’ is the Cornish motto and also of the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry. The DCLI had their own dinner services so maybe the pottery is from that. Wonderful channel, always, for us - ‘One and All!’.

    Really?? You think it looks like Falcor?? I just don't see it, but that doesn't mean you're wrong. Falcor has squared off ears, this one has pointed ones. Falcor has such a sweet face with his big eyes and long muzzle. But if you think you're right, I won't argue.

    Lever Brothers was originally a British firm. The badges were part of a marketing effort, and were given to children in schools. Around the turn of the century, American cities were full of poor immigrants living in crowded housing with one washing room/toilet per floor (multiple apartments/flats/rooms). Public health advocates had inspired cities to open public showers and swimming pools to allow (and encourage) immigrants both from overseas and from farms to wash themselves regularly, which many had never done. Here near Boston in Cambridge, Lever Brothers produced soap at a 1000 employee factory. And Lifebuoy was regularly advertised on television into my adulthood, and is probably still for sale.

I always am greatly upset by the way poor people were treated and unfortunately some still are ( I try hard to do my part to help) but very happy that someone tried to help and fix a problem that probably caused alot of sickness and disease. It also makes me very thankful to GOD and humbled that he has always allowed me access to clean water and nice showers.

It is a VERY NICE find and a netsuke is now on my bucket list! If you google “netsuke ox” you will see many other examples similar to your recumbent ox with legs tucked under. All the best! Cheers!

    The dome shaped coral would make the perfect 'specimen' for the dollhouse study, wouldn't it? The other corals, I don't know...wonder if they are fossil remains or animals, but then that's what coral is, isn't it? Next thought is was there an American/English base near that spot from one of the WWs? That could explain the mix of artifacts you're finding. You two have sure been having some great hunts! Thank you both for taking us along!
