Antique Miniature White Porcelain Famous URN #195, Made by Savoy China Pottery Works: Featuring City of Edinburgh Coat of Arms

This item is an antique piece of British Crested China produced by the Savoy China pottery works in Stoke-on-Trent, England, during the early-to-mid 20th century. The condition is excellent, with no chips or cracks. The transfer image of the crest and banner are clear, vivid, with light wear. The gold around the rim is a little spotty. The bottom displays the manufacturer logo and info on the original urn and where it's now located. Made in England.

THE HISTORY: This is a miniature souvenir piece marked with design number 195, which replicates a historical artifact that was actually found in Edinburgh, as indicated by the text "MODEL OF BRITISH URN DUG UP AT ILFORD NOW IN LEWES CASTLE." 

THE CITY OF EDINBURGH: This souvenir piece features the official City of Edinburgh Coat of Arms alongside the Latin motto Nisi Dominus Frustra, which translates to "Except the Lord in Vain." Popularly collected throughout the United Kingdom from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, these miniature glazed porcelain or earthenware items were typically produced by prominent manufacturers such as Savoy, W.H. Goss, Arcadian, or Gemma. The design features a smooth, glossy white finish detailed with a crest showcasing the iconic Edinburgh Castle flanked by its traditional supporters.
