Henry Hunt MP: a copper lustre jug banded in blue and printed in black with a portrait of Bainbridge named Henry Hunt Esq, the reverse with a cartouche of the Bill of Rights and Habeas Corpus, 149mm, repair to spout, circa 1825 * Henry Hunt (1773-1835) was a firebrand radical politician whose ‘reformist’ credentials (and tendency to get himself arrested and imprisoned) went back to the early 1800s. He came to national notice in 1819 when he was jailed following the demonstration at St Peter’s Fields, Manchester in what became known as the Peterloo Massacre. The second transfer on the jug highlights the issue of Parliamentary reform not being seen in isolation by many who perceived it as part of a wider radical agenda which included reform of the corn laws (which had been introduced in 1815 and were not repealed until 1846), church and tithe reform, universal suffrage (finally achieved in 1928 with the extension of the vote to all women over the age of 21, although by ‘universal suffrage’ in 1832 the sloganeers almost certainly meant ‘universal suffrage for men’), the secret ballot (not achieved until 1872) and also social and economic reforms.

1832 George Kinloch: a pottery saucer printed in black with a named and inscribed portrait, restored *George Kinloch of Kinloch J.P. made a speech at a Radical meeting in Dundee in November 1819 protesting at the treatment of the demonstrators at St Peter’s Fields Manchester, who had been violently and murderously suppressed at ‘Peterloo’. He was charged with sedition and fled to France. By a happy coincidence he was elected Reform MP for Dundee thirteen years, to the day, later. Illustrated

1880 Leeds Election: A Doulton Burslem brown stoneware jug, the tapering body applied with a portrait medallion of W. E. Gladstone and inscribed for his electoral success, 240mm, rim restored * The City of Leeds had swayed between the parties since 1832, often electing one Liberal and one Conservative MP, although the Liberals won both seats in 1837 and 1852. In 1868, following the 1867 Reform Act when Leeds gained a third seat in Parliament, the borough always split two of one party to one of the other. The General Election in April 1880 was no exception. Gladstone was top of the poll; with fellow Liberal Sir John Barran(e) Bart. (1823-1901) second; and Conservative William Lawies Jackson (1840-1917) third. In the event Gladstone elected to sit for Edinburgh, where he had also been elected (accepting nomination in two places was not only permissible but quite common at this time). His fourth son Herbert John (1854-1930) was elected unopposed at the ensuing by election. This was probably the ‘coat-tail’ effect W E Gladstone was looking for in standing in Leeds in the first place! The quotation is from Gladstone’s famous ‘Inaugural Address to the Students of the University of Glasgow’, which he gave on 5th December 1879 and was published by John Murray. The crossed axes at the base of the handle refer to Gladstone’s habit of personally felling trees in the grounds of his Hawarden Castle home, near Chester. Illustrated
