Lot 261
A late 17th century bronze mortar, Gloucestershire, attributed to Abraham Rudhall I (fl.1684-1718)With everted rim, cast twice to the body with the Royal Arms and cipher ‘CR’, rim diameter 13.4cm, height 10.5cmLiterature: See Michael Finlay, 'English Decorated Bronze Mortars & Their Makers' (2010), p. 41, fig. 50, for a mortar cast with the same medallion of the Royal Arms and attributed to the Rudhall Foundry, Gloucester. The author notes 'this version of the Royal Arms is very similar in design to the enamel bosses sometimes inset into pewter chargers of the James I and Charles I periods and it seems possible that a slightly larger version of one of these may have been brought into service to provide the stamp which was used on these mortars, all of whose decoration is usually extremely shallow, and has often worn almost away'.Provenance: Sotheby's 18 May 1997, Lot 573. The Tony Chapman Collection, West Yorkshire
