A Derby soup plate from the Duke of Northumberland Service, circa 1791Painted with six sprigs of pink roses, probably by William Billingsley, the light blue enamel border with oeil de perdrix in raised white enamel and gold, reserving three panels of similar flowers, 25.2cm diam, crown, crossed batons and D mark in puce, impressed F inside footrimFootnotes:This lot is probably one of the twenty-four soup plates supplied to the second Duke of Northumberland in 1791 as a matching to an earlier Chelsea-Derby service likely to have been ordered on the occasion of his second marriage in 1779. The London Day Book for 25 April 1791 refers to them as being decorated with the same pattern as the earlier pieces 'enam'd groups of roses, rich mosaic border on a light blue ground to match'. The original service was painted by Edward Withers, but the replacements are likely to be by William Billingsley. For a discussion, see Stephen Mitchell, The Marks on Chelsea-Derby and Early Crossed-Batons Useful Wares (2007), p.50-2.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A Dutch engraved armorial light baluster wine glass, circa 1750The generous round funnel bowl slightly flared at the rim, decorated with the crowned arms of Wiskerke flanked by lion supporters, resting on a foliate scrollwork bracket, the reverse with a tiny sprig concealing a bubble, on a stem with an annular shoulder knop set between half-knops above a slender true baluster, terminating in a small basal knop, over a conical foot, 19.1cm highFootnotes:The origin of the arms is unknown, but they existed in the 17th century associated with the Wiskerke family. They are most likely for the Lords of Wiskerke and it is possible that the family took the arms from the village and Estate of Wiskerke in Zeeland, Netherlands. The arms were later used by the serjeanty of Wiskerke from 1819, and a variation with ground added to the lower grapevine was granted to the hamlet of Wissekerke in Zeeland in 1817.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A fine and rare Dutch stipple-engraved light baluster wine glass by J Wolff, circa 1760 The round funnel bowl delicately engraved with an almost continuous landscape scene depicting falconry, an moustached gentleman standing before a seated lady, he with a sword by his side and she holding an open book in her lap, a boy holding a crossbow standing before them, an elaborately dressed gentleman standing to his left with a falcon perched on his left arm, holding his dog by a lead behind him, a man on horseback releasing another falcon in the distance, all before a clifftop castle and beneath a flock of birds in flight, the stem with angular and cushion knops above a beaded inverted baluster terminating in a basal knop, over a conical foot, 17.5cm high Footnotes: Provenance S J Mak van Waay, Amsterdam, 27 February 1968, lot 1578 The identity of J Wolff is unknown, but if he was a relative of the renowned master engraver David Wolff it can only be his brother Jacob, born in 1742, see Frans Smit, Dutch Eighteenth-Century Dutch Stipple-Engravings on Glass (1993), p.17. A total of just twenty glasses by this engraver are recorded by Smit, including two bearing the signature 'J Wolff', one of which is dated 1780. J Wolff stippled in a very distinctive style with backgrounds often sparsely dotted and darker objects frequently left almost devoid of stippling, instead delineated by outlines. The style of the engraving on the present lot is therefore characteristic of this engraver. He specialised in depictions of country folk and rural life, particularly tavern scenes. The present lot is unrecorded by Smit and therefore represents an important addition to this artist's oeuvre. Two examples with related outdoor scenes depicting various spectators watching the ascent of a hot air balloon are recorded by Smit (1993), p.156, nos.Ec.3 and Ec.4. For a goblet with a tavern scene by J Wolff, see that sold by Bonhams on 21 June 2022, lot 132.

A very rare Belgian armorial sealed mineral water flask, circa 1724-43 Of light amber tint, the flattened ovoid body with a long slender neck with a crimped string rim, applied just below with a small seal inscribed 'POUHON IN SPA' around the coat of arms of Georges-Louis de Berghes or the town of Spa surmounted by a coronet, with a shallow basal 'kick-up', 23.4cm high Footnotes: Provenance Sheelah Ruggles-Brise Collection and thence by family descent Literature Sheelah Ruggles-Brise, Sealed Bottles (1949), pp.77-8 These extremely rare bottles were produced in three different sizes, with the present lot being the full-sized version, see Willy van den Bossche, Antique Glass Bottles (2001), pp.186-7, pls.136A-B and David Burton, Antique Sealed Bottles (2015), pp.1628-9. Georges-Louis de Berghes was Prince-Bishop of the Principality of Liège (1724-1743) and his arms were also used by the nearby town of Spa in the Ardennes. Pouhon was the name of the spring in the town, mineral water from which was exported worldwide from the late 16th century for its medicinal properties, rendering the name of the town synonymous with mineral waters elsewhere. Flasks with glass seals were produced between 1724 and 1743 only, replacing the earlier examples sealed with green wax, in order to prevent nearby competitors from selling their water in imitation bottles. The bottles would originally have been encased in straw wicker, some of which were imported into England by Henry Eyre in the 1730s. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A very rare quarter size 'Shaft and Globe' wine bottle or apothecary vial, circa 1660-70Of translucent pale aqua tint and attractive small size, the bulbous body with a long slightly tapering neck and prominent string rim, with a shallow basal 'kick-up', 11.9cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceChristie's, 7 October 1996, lot 1A C Hubbard Jr CollectionLiteratureWard Lloyd, A Wine Lover's Glasses (2000), p.109, pl.159It is exceptionally rare to find a 'Shaft and Globe' bottle in such a small size. Only two sealed quarter size examples are recorded by David Burton, Antique Sealed Bottles (2015), pp.940-1 and 943. Another example in translucent aqua glass is illustrated alongside the present lot by Ward Lloyd (2000), p.109, pl.159. It is possible that this bottle served as an apothecary vial considering that most early wine bottles were manufactured from dark green vernacular glass to protect the contents from light and hide visible impurities in wine.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A fine Royal Worcester reticulated vase by George Owen, dated 1918Of Persian shape, the tapering body intricately pierced with bands of honeycomb and geometric design, picked out with raised gilt dots, the slender neck with pierced panels above a band of white 'pearls' and delicate gilding, the rim, 'wishbone' handles and circular foot also elaborately pierced and gilded, 15cm high, printed mark in gold, incised signature 'G Owen', gilder's number 61Footnotes:The intricacy of George Owen's piercing on porcelain is frankly astonishing and the aesthetic appeal is matched by the joy in handling something so feather-light. Owen had a special arrangement with the Royal Worcester factory in which his pieces were sold to them individually, before they were gilded and then sold on often many years later, see John Sandon, Investigating George Owen: The Lydia Starr Collection, Ars Ceramica, No.24 (2008), pp.14-5. A vase of identical shape by Owen dated 1919 from the Starr Collection was sold by Sotheby's in New York, 23 October 2019, lot 200 (part).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A rare Southern Bohemian engraved baluster goblet, circa 1690Of very pale pink tint, the thick conical bowl with a solid base, cut with elaborate stylised flowering foliate sprays woven between three rows of four polished lenses, all between formal 'Bohemian' husk borders, set on a triple collar above a wide teared inverted baluster resting on a double merese and short plain stem, the broad circular foot with a further band of husks, 19.3cm highFootnotes:Very similar goblets exist from early production in Potsdam, see Robert Schmidt, Brandenburgische Gläser (1914), pl.4, no.2. A goblet of slightly different form but with almost identical engraving is illustrated by Rainer Rückert, Die Glassammlung des Bayerischen Nationalmuseums München, Vol.2 (1982), p.218 and pl.186, no.610. Rückert suggests that the so-called 'Bohemian' husk borders and the bright yellow-green fluorescence of the glass under ultraviolet light, both of which are features of the present lot, support a Bohemian origin.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
