Are you a mug if you get it wrong?
Some time ago the Cheshire Heraldry Society Programme Secretary approached me to ask if I could shed any light on the armorial bearings illustrated on a Chinese porcelain mug. Identified thus in David Sanctuary Howard’s book Chinese Armorial Porcelain:
1st Qtr identified as Kinsey
2nd Qtr attributed to Chardelow (of Spratling Norfolk)
3rd Qtr unknown
4th Qtr attributed to Grosvenor
This attribution is not correct.

I believe that the 2nd and third quarters are Birchels and the 4th quarter is Grosvenor (really Eaton).
I have expanded on this belief and given evidence to back it up in my talk entitled Squirrels and Chevrons.

Cheshire Heraldry article in The Heraldry Gazette
It is only a matter of weeks since I received my copy of The Heraldry Society's Heraldry Gazette and I notice that there is already an electronic copy on line for all to see. The latest copy has my article on "Orle vs Escutcheon Voided".
