Looking at Parker's Heraldry (www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker), I can't find anything like yours?!
I have tried bottles, pitchers, ewers, jugs, jars, flagon, beaker, apothecary, druggist, chemist, etc ::)

Anyone have any clues as to what I can try next?

Hello

I don't want to confuse the issue but the heading caught my eye and reminded me of a query I had some years ago regarding a Harris coat of arms:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=572907.0

I got tremendous help then, if the same people are about they seemed very knowledgable.

Regards

Suds

Browsing through Burke's General Armory of England, I found this:

Harris (Maldon, co. Essex). Or, on a bend az. three cinque-foils pierced of the field. Crest — A talbot sejant or. Another Crest — A buck's head chequy ar. and az. attired or.

For me, that confirms that the first arms are that of Harris.

Now to find the second arms! ;D

That is interesting as there is, currently, no known link to that Harris family. His father appears to be from Northamptonshire.

However the fact he used this may not mean that there is a real link but perhaps a perceived or hopeful one. The use of the catherine wheels in later (Victorian) Scott arms is an example of people linked by name and not by relation using them.

thanks again

The description that I used of this coat of arms was taken from "Monumental inscriptions and coats of arms from Cambridgeshire" (free download) and on page 388 - plate xxx there is the authors drawing which clearly shows pears - 2 up from the bottom on the left hand column.

I now believe that William Cole saw pears and therefore put them into the blazon.

So left hand half is 'borrowed' from Harris of Maldon and the right hand half relates to him as an apothecary with a hint of humour.

Re "Scott (co. Lincoln, and the Manor House, Ham, co. Surrey; represented by Sir Geokoe Gilbebt Scott, Knt., LL.D.), Same Arms, Ac." there is no known connection to Scotts Hall.

We share a common ancestor (albeit I am a little younger).

To use the same arms there MUST be a link ;D
The Heralds and the College of Arms do not permit different families sharing a coat-of-arms.

Correct, but that assumes that the bearer gained requested the approval of the College. In this instance he did not :o
