How much is this worth?
Took the takings down to the cash office this morning [1.10am] after the function.
Had just closed the safe and about to turn the light off and decided to look a bit closely at this piece of pottery!!!
Having googled the name, I found out that the gentleman who is named in the inscription was a chairman of Stoke city FC and he gave one to each of the 94 football clubs in that year [1937].
It is a Coalport china loving cup,as it has three handles, it`s hand painted with 22 carat gold relief. The colours are beautiful.
It probably was on display in the old Filbert Street stadium at some point, but over at the Walkers, it`s in it`s little wood and glass case sat on top of the filing cabinet in the bowels of the stadium.
Shame really, I might just mention it to one of the powers that be and see if it can`t be placed somewhere else on general view.
Queens Park Rangers still use theirs to drink a toast to the Queen at Christmas.
How much is it worth? Probably a heck of a lot more than in 1937
