An important wine glass commemorating Sir William Howe and the capture of New York, circa 1776The ogee bowl engraved with the crowned cipher 'GR' above 'God Save the King' to one side, the other inscribed 'SUCCESS TO SIR WILLIAM HOWE/ SAVIOUR OF NEW YORK' beneath the rim, the base of the bowl cut with a band of circlets between petal facets, the faceted stem with a central swelling knop, over a conical foot, 14.7cm highFootnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, London, formed 1960s-80sRecently discovered in a provincial auction in Berkshire, this unrecorded glass is an important commemorative piece. General Sir William Howe (1729-1814) was a distinguished veteran of the French and Indian War who, in 1775, was appointed Commander in Chief of His Majesty's forces in America during the Revolutionary War. Charged with combating rebellion and maintaining peace between Britain and its colonies, Howe's first major battles against his American counterpart, General George Washington, came during the Patriot siege of Boston and included the Battle of Bunker Hill. They proved to be disappointing failures that resulted in the British retreat from Boston in March 1776.That Summer Howe sailed for New York, chosen as the new base of operations owing to its strategic location. In August 1776 Howe and the British Army were victorious over Washington and the Continental Army at the Battle of Long Island, for which he was made a Knight of the Order of the Bath and which the present glass would appear to commemorate. That September he lead another British invasion of New York City in the Battle of Harlem Heights, the result of which restored the confidence of the Continental Army in what was Washington's first success of the War.Howe again defeated Washington at the Battles of Brandywine in September 1777 and Germantown in October 1777, but went on to launch an attack against Philadelphia instead of coming to the aid of British General John Burgoyne at the Battles of Saratoga as planned. Without the support of Howe and his men, the British army at Saratoga was overwhelmed and forced to surrender to American General Horatio Gates that October. This American victory was one of the turning points of the Revolutionary War, which ultimately led to the Declaration of Independence and the loss of thirteen colonies.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
