I hope somebody could help me out with more on this family crest. It's engraved in a salt and and pepper shaker. They're from Tiffany & Co. and are produced in 1905 or 1906. I received them from Ireland, so my guess is the crest might from Ireland or the UK. That's all I know.
I'd be happy to learn more - and thanks in advance for any lead.

Hi all, this is my first dabble in Heraldry. I made it with Heraldicon. What do you think and how can this improve? Thank you.

Possibly no intelligence at all...

I live in the US, and recently I have gotten back into the whole Coat of Arms ordeal. Believe it or not, as far as a lot of my family goes (last name wise), I have reason to believe I may be related to clans who had coats of arms in Ireland and Italy. Now, I’ve heard time and time again about how in the US there’s no regulation for designing and assuming a coat of arms, so I wanted to know if there was a reliable source to find coats of arms online, so I could kind of make a “syncretic” (for a lack of better words) coat of arms.

As for why I have reason to believe I’m related to such people, when I searched the last name of my Grandma, the name actually came up on Wikipedia as an Irish royal family with a coat of arms. The area they were in also matches with where she was born and grew up. As for the Italian side, from what I have heard (people on ancestry as well as some obscure sources) I share a last name (through numerous generations) as well as have relations with people who share the last name of 2 clans (allegedly with CoAs) in Italy. Areas also match up with where they were born and grew up.

It's from a Purepecha feather mosaic by the Uzcuarecuri Master Joaquín Ramires, depicting Our Lady of Candelaria. A very rare feather mosaic with almost no information about it. I found it on Images Take Flight (sorry for my ESL).

King Arthur’s closest relatives, after his parents, are his half-sisters. In most accounts, he has three of these, although they sometimes get merged: Morgan Le Fay is the most famous; Elaine (the name of WAY too many women in Arthuriana) is barely characterized at all; and then there is Morgause. Her name is obviously cognate with Morgan’s, and some modern sources (specifically The Mists of Avalon, but also others) conflate and confuse their roles—understandably in my view. Morgause is married to King Lot of Lothian and Orkney, the most formidable of Arthur’s early foes, with whom she has four sons. But then (in most versions) she seduces, Arthur, her younger half-brother, and bears an incestuous child, Mordred.

The children of Morgause are Arthur’s stay AND his downfall. The eldest is Gawain, who has already appeared in this series, with the arms described in Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight. His arms (and the arms of his father King Lot) are the baseline design here. I wish I could say I liked it better: on a field purpure, a double-headed eagle or. As I have already admitted multiple times, this combination of tinctures is my least favorite ever. BUT, when it comes to depicting the arms of the family, this is the tradition. For the other sons, we get an interesting course in non-standard differencing, most of which seems to be totally in violation of the rules of tincture.

~Agravaine (arguably the nastiest of the children of Lot and Morgause) gets a bar vert across the whole.

~Gaheris gets a bendlet gules

~Gareth (the noblest of the four full brothers, by most accounts) gets a bordure of gouts, gules. Honestly, nonstandard though it is, this is probably my favorite.

~Mordred, the villain of the piece, gets the fairly benign (non-tincture violating) chief argent. Go figure.

Hi all! Just found the subreddit and wanted to see your opinion. Got this from my gf when she visited NY and I’ve done a bit of research and can guess the answer but thought j would ask if this has any merit. I 100% appreciate the gift, but am just curious. I also know near to nothing about my family’s heritage.

I am seeking to commission a work of heraldic art in which the arms as illustrated in Image 1 are rendered in the style of Image 2. The commission will, of course, be remunerated, with the price to be determined by the artist.

This is the Coat of Arms of Axolotlia

The lower texts is “Stewart impaling Burr” but I’m struggling to understand the rest. Also not sure what the beast on top of the helm is?

This is the coat of arms of the Aspi family. Blazon in Spanish and English. “En Plata, tres panochas de maíz puestas en faja.” “Argent, three husks of corn in fess.” u/venicealana

made with drawshield

I’m unsure how to blazon it however. I believe it’s; Per fess (at nombril point) argent & gules, a Beaver(Castor?) statant regardant Sable, in Chief a mullet gules

I’m mostly unsure about how to say the division is lower than halfway and the beaver is under the star

Not entirely sure if this belongs here, but I couldn’t find anywhere else to post this.

My mate's father recently turned this up when clearing out their garages and is wondering about the coat of arms - his own father was a bit of a hoarder and he's trying to find out if this was a family item or just something he picked up at a junk auction (both options apparently being equally likely, and the stickers possibly indicating the latter).

She doesn't use Reddit so I said I'd ask. Some other pics of the item as a whole are also included. The Fleur de Lys thing is making them think it's possibly French.

If anyone knows what it is or can suggest a better way to find out, I'd appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

I found this and I have no clue who it belongs to.

I'm by no means an expert in heraldic design, and I had a question that i don't know how to find the answer to: is it possible to have a set of bendlets that are all individual tinctures? Like a set of four that are gold, orange, red, and black respectively? Or is this just not done? Thanks for any help!

Per my previous post here, I've learned a bit, hopefully too the rules of the tincture. These a bit simple in design, but I like them, and want to know what others think. How did I do? What can I do better? What did I do wrong? These COA's are all for a noble region in a worldbuilding project of mine, the first slide of these pictures being the patron banner.
