Does anyone know what this porcelain mark is? I know it's vintage, made in Germany, but would like to know what the "T" stands for. It's on the bottom of a shaving brush holder made as a souvenir.

Can anyone help with translation or information? This mark is on the bottom of a bowl in the Collection. The only information we have is that it is oriental. I've tried Google translate on the mark and nothing.... Thank you :)

#Museum30 and #Technology - how about this cigarette machine that once stood outside a local shop. It had to be taken apart so it could be screwed to the wall, giving us a good luck inside. Unfortunately any repairs it needed are out of warranty!

#Museum30 and #Hands - even the adults get busy at our crafty sessions. This was taken in the summer holidays, making seaside themed hanging decorations with mosaics.

#Museum30 and #Frame - I love the frame on this painting by Laura Happerfield. She lived in the Village in The Street. Much of her work featured Bath and Bristol, and was asked to do a miniature for the doll's house at Windsor Castle.

#Museum30 and #travel - for this day, I couldn't miss out a Southdown Bus. 🚌 This is a great shot of the Route 66 to Arundel pulling out of Claigmar Road. The Street has changed a bit since 1955, but we still have the regular bus service through the Village.

#Museum30 and #Storage - it has to be our brand new art racking!! 😍 We now have somewhere safe and accessible to put all of our artworks and big flat things like church clocks. This is thanks to a Collections Care grant from South East Museum Development

#Museum30 and it's yellow day! This is a little yellow ticket from the local WI group. Rustington was home to several Suffragists, like Rhoda Garrett (Millicent Fawcett's cousin) and Lady Maude Parry. Also Suffragette Dame Ethel Smyth.

#MuseumTwitter - we need your help! Whilst sorting through boxes of files, maps and other paraphernalia all about Rustington from a local historian, we came across these two images. But we have no clue where or who they are... Can anyone help identify them??

It's #InternationalPicnicDay, so we wanted to share this photograph of the senior pupils of St Michael's School, East Grinstead enjoying a picnic at Rustington (@RustingtonMuse1) in July 1925. Well, the senior pupils are enjoying it, the Nun sitting in the sun seems less keen!
