1815 Waterloo: a particularly poignant creamware jug printed in black with a cartoon depicting a caged Napoleon being taken by two sailors in a boat, with associated speech bubbles, on the reverse a scene of a parson being offered an infant together with related verse entitled 'The Tythe Pig', 196mm, restored.
* Probably the last depiction of Napoleon following his defeat at Waterloo. The reference to Meg of Wapping, in the speech bubble of the sailor at the helm, may refer to one Magderlina de Coursey, a French noblewoman of beauty who fled France and settled in Wapping High Street where she appears to have taken no less than seven husbands. Exposed at a bigamist she was deported and lived out her life in the Balearics. The naval association with Wapping, where press gangs operated, is well documented. See a satire published 12th April 1797 by Laurie & Whittle entitled Meg of Wapping (British Museum number 1948,0214.402) and Drakard, plate 729.

Nelson in Memoriam: a rare and particularly fine gilt decorated porcelain jug by Barr Flight & Barr printed en-grisaille with a reverse signed pencil drawn head and shoulders portrait flanked by a French eagle standard the shaft entwined with serpents and a dove of Peace, the underside with impressed mark of initials surmounted by a crown, circa 1807, 148mm.
* This mirror-image portrait is after the recently discovered sketch of Nelson by Albin Roberts Burt done in pencil on silk probably about 1802. The original is signed A.R. Burt as is this version although here in mirrored format. Burt's brother Henry Frederick was Nelson's secretary and Burt himself a close friend of both Sir William and Emma Hamilton. He trained initially as an engraver under Robert Threw and Benjamin Smith. Adverts affixed to the reverse of some of his works stated that he had invented a machine by which the most accurate likenesses can be taken. It is likely that in searching for a suitable posthumous portrait of Nelson this very personal likeness was settled upon by Barr Flight & Barr and reproduced, by virtue of Burt's invention, as a mirror image.
There is no record of this portrait in either Richard Walker's 1998 seminal or his 1985 Regency Portraits catalogue. The recently discovered original pencil drawing was sold by Charles Miller Ltd in their Maritime and Scientific Models, Instruments and Art auction on 8th November 2016 as lot 71 with a provenance described as UK private collection.
Barr Flight & Barr are recorded as operating between 1807 and 1813. Proceeds from the sale of this lot will go to benefit various charities.

George Prince of Wales and Caroline Princess of Wales: a pair of Wedgwood blue jasperware oval portrait medallions each applied in white with elaborately hatted head and shoulder profiles, probably 19th century or later, both 133mm high, overmounted and framed.
* The portrait of George is attributed to Flaxman and was taken from the drawing by Edmund Scott, depicting him in the uniform of Colonel of the 10th Light Dragoons. It dates from an early period than the portrait of Caroline, which is also attributed to Flaxman after Edmund Scott and was engraved by T. Barrow in 1795. Depicted in complimentary extravagant headwear it seems probable that this pair of plaques was originally made to celebrate their wedding on 8th April 1795 however Wedgwood may well have reissued these medallions at a later date. See Wedgwood the Portrait Medallions by Reilly & Savage, pages 83 and 168. Each apparently impressed with sitter's names and Wedgwood on the reverse, however reframed since acquisition and not dismantled for examination.
