1797 SIR JOHN JERVIS AND THE BATTLE OF CAPE ST VINCENT A large and rare creamware jug, c.1797, printed in black with a portrait oval titled 'Sir John Jarvis [sic] KB Admiral of the Blue', bordered by a vignette of a ship detailing the success, and Fame depicted with trumpet holding a ribbon inscribed with previous battle honours above four lines of loyal toast, the reverse with a figural circular panel, a sailing ship in the background, above four lines of verse titled 'Jack Spritsails Frolic', restoration to the rim and foot, 26cm. Knighted in 1782 for action off Gibraltar, Jervis was raised to the Peerage on 23rd August 1797 as Baron Jervis of Meaford and Earl St Vincent, in recognition of his triumph at Cape St. Vincent. Cf. John & Jennifer May, Commemorative Pottery 1780-1900, p.88 for a description of the print of Jervis. Provenance: with Martyn Edgell, December 2016.
ADMIRAL BOSCAWEN AND THE CAPTURE OF LOUISBOURG A rare Worcester mug, c.1760, the cylindrical body printed in black with a three-quarter length portrait of the Admiral holding a chart titled 'Louisbourg', the reverse with two warships, centred by the arms of Boscawen, 8.7cm. This portrait of Admiral Edward Boscawen is after the 1747 painting by John Faber, but has been embellished with the inscribed map of Cape Breton. Highly regarded as a fighting Admiral, Boscawen was wounded in the neck in 1747 in action off Cape Finisterre thus earning him the nickname 'Wrynecked Dick'. Boscawen took Louisbourg at the mouth of the St Lawrence River in July 1758, paving the way for the assault on Quebec the following year. Cf. Simon Spero Exhibition 2000, number 8.
BRITISH NAVAL ENGAGEMENT A large Wedgwood creamware jug, c.1780, printed in black with two warships engaged in action above GR monogram flanked by trophies of war, the reverse with 'The Death of Wolfe' after Benjamin West, restoration to the rim, spout and foot, 28cm. Rodney's heroic triumph over the Spanish on 14th January 1780 at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, and the subsequent relief of Gibraltar, are probably the inspiration for the naval engagement depicted. The Sadler transfer of Wolfe's death at Quebec in 1759 after the painting by Benjamin West was also used by Wedgwood. Cf. David Drakard, Printed English Pottery, p.150, pl. 403. Provenance: with John May, May 1995.

1958 Austin Healey 100/6 BN6Make: Austin Healey Model: 100/6Year: 1958Mileage: 22440VIN: BN63093Configuration: Right Hand DriveRegistration: DSU711Transmission: manual‘Big Healeys’ are among the most desirable of all British classic sports cars, but for the vendor of this 100/6 model, it was pretty much love at first sight.. and pretty much every day since then. When the vendor started employment, he would cycle past a BMC dealership every day, which would occasionally have an Austin-Healey its showroom. He promised himself that, one day, he’d own one himself. It just took a few years for it to happen. In the meantime, this example was prepared as a Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kit in September 1958 and sent to Cape Town in South Africa the following month to be fully built - although it seems it wasn’t actually put together until 1960. Registered TJ 50385, it was finished in two-tone white-over-red with blue interior
