1716 QUEEN ANNE IN MEMORIAM A delftware plate, dated 1716, painted in blue with the inscription 'To the Pious Memory of Queen Anne '1716', within a foliate wreath border, restored rim sections, 22.2cm. Dated two years after Queen Anne's death in 1714, this inscription has its roots in high-Tory support and anti-Jacobite sentiment and propaganda. Cf. Lipski and Archer, Dated English Delftware, p.76, nos. 289 and 290 for similar examples dated 1717. Provenance: with Jonathan Horne, November 2000.

GEORGE I A London delftware 'Union' plate, c.1714, probably Vauxhall, painted in red, green and blue with crossed thistle and rose stems surmounted by a crown and the initials 'GR' within a blue lined border, a long rim crack, 21.1cm. The crossed thistle and rose motif first appeared on AR plates for Queen Anne to celebrate the Act of Union of 1707. Cf. Frank Britton, London Delftware, p.142, fig.119. Provenance: with Alistair Sampson, November 1999.

GEORGE I A London delftware plate, c.1714-27, painted in blue, green and red with a half-length crowned portrait flanked by the initials 'GR', within narrow blue and red bands, broken and restored, 22.2cm. While it is likely that this plate commemorates George I, the same portrait was used by potters to commemorate the Coronation of George II in 1727. Provenance: with John Howard, June 2015.

BRISTOL ELECTION OF THOMAS COSTER A Bristol delftware plate, c.1734, painted in blue with a figure of Justice overcoming Envy, depicted as a tortured figure holding a paper entitled 'The Petition', beneath an arch inscribed 'Libertas Populi' and the initials 'TC', within a border of barbed floral panels and scrolls, repaired rim sections, 22.1cm. In the 1734 general election Thomas Coster, a vigorous opponent of Walpole's Excise schemes, was returned for the Tories against the Whigs, Sir Abraham Elton and Mr Scrope, for Bristol. Coster's election was, however, contested and a petition was presented to the House of Commons by the Mayor of the Corporation, alleging invalid votes. Much of one sitting of the House was taken up hearing the matter, notwithstanding which the petition was subsequently withdrawn. Coster died in 1739. Provenance: sold Sotheby's 21st July 1981, lot 40; subsequently with Jonathan Horne and ex Longridge Collection, sold Christie's, South Kensington, 3 November 2011, lot 336.

BATTLE OF PORTOBELLO A Liverpool delftware plate, c.1740, finely painted in pale blue with a scene of warships engaged in the bombardment of the fort, the rim with a formal grapevine border, extensively broken and restuck, 26.9cm. In the conflict between the English and Spanish in the Caribbean that became known as 'The War of Jenkins Ear', and following earlier failed British blockade attempts, Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon, against much criticism and with a squadron of just six ships, appeared off Portobello on 20th November 1739. With the wind from the east, Vernon attacked the Castillo del Hierro and the English scaled the walls of the fort. The Spanish surrendered, the English occupied and destroyed much of the town before withdrawing after three weeks, thus ending the town's main function as a Spanish maritime base. Vernon's popularity was short-lived, however, following his later failed attempt to take the fortress at Cartagena. Suffering heavy British casualties in Cuba, he returned to England in 1742 disgraced. Provenance: with Garry Atkins, March 2000.

WILLIAM AND MARY A London delftware Royal blue dash charger, c.1690, painted in blue, yellow and manganese with full-length portraits of the Royal couple flanked by tents, beneath the initials 'WMR', the rim with a blue dash border, the underside with a pale blue lead glaze, a short hairline to the rim, 32.8cm. Provenance: with Garry Atkins, June 2016.

GEORGE III A London delftware plate, c.1760, well painted in blue with a head and shoulders profile portrait of the king pinned with the Garter Star, inscribed 'GR III', three filled rim chips, 22cm. Cf. J C Austin, British Delft at Williamsburg, p.140, no.190. It is likely that the portrait by Jeremiah Meyer is the source for this portrait. The existence of a companion plate depicting Queen Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz suggests these plates were made at the time of their marriage in 1761. Provenance: with John Howard, April 2018.

QUEEN ANNE A London delftware plate, c.1702-14, painted in blue with a half-length crowned portrait flanked by the initials 'AR', within a banded and looped border, extensively restored, 22cm. Provenance: sold Christie's, 27th April 1998, lot 4.

John Churchill, born in 1650, was a statesman renowned for his organisational, logistic and diplomatic skills. He was appointed Captain General of the British Army and raised to the Dukedom in 1702. He died in 1722. Cf. Anthony Ray, English Delftware in The Robert Hall Warren Collection Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, pl 2, for a similar example. The same portrait was also used to represent Prince George of Denmark, the Duke of Ormonde, Prince Eugene, George I and George II, the initials identifying the figure. Provenance: ex Beaumont collection; Vogel collection, sold Sotheby's, New York, 19th January 2019, lot 672.

Cf. G Lang, The Wrestling Boys, An exhibition of Chinese and Japanese ceramics from the 16th to the 18th century in the collection at Burghley House, p.13, no.38 for a related dish, one of a pair. Also, see C J A Jörg, Fine & Curious, Japanese Export Porcelain in Dutch Collections, p.246, no.317, for another example in the collection of Twickel Castle, Delden. The author also explains that similar saucers were found during excavations in Deshima. This design was first created by famous Dutch artist Frederik Van Frytom (1632-1702). Van Frytom created an important series of Delftware dishes for export to Japan in 1684 which reflected the Dutch landscape tradition of the 17th century. Van Frytom's patterns (including the design known as 'Deshima Island') became a large part of Japan kilns production made for the West.

A large Dutch Delft baluster vase and cover, De Paauw factory, circa 1700Decorated in blue and green with details in red and yellow with a peacock amidst flowering shrubs surrounded by scattered birds and insects in flight, above a stiff leaf border, the shoulder with a band of pendant motifs enclosing flower heads, the domed cover similarly decorated, 53cm high (cover restored) (2)Footnotes:Provenance:The Property of a Spanish Noble FamilyThe De Paauw factory was founded in 1651 in the east of the city of Delft. Marion van Aken-Fehmers in her seminal book 'Delfts Aardewerk, geschiedenis van een nationaal product' (2001) describes the history of the factory in detail. The success of the factory can be measured at least in part by the rapid succession of owners. From 1701, the Kam family took ownership of the factory and under the leadership of father and son Gerrit and David Kam, the factory flourished. Like many Dutch delft potters, the Paauw factory produced sought-after blue and white objects designed after Chinese blue and white example. Another lucrative branch of the production of the Paauw factory were pieces decorated in berettino with a blue ground-colour picked out in lighter decorative schemes of flowers much in the style of Nevers production. The ambitious Paauw factory was responsible for several technical developments in the production of Dutch Delftware, which also included experiments with polychrome colours in grand feu, which were very hard to manage. In this vase, we can see blue, green and yellow tones, and traces of the cold-decorated red too. From an inventory of the factory and house contents from 1725 and documented minutely by Van Aken-Fehmers (op.cit. pp. 160-163), it becomes clear that in the living room on a large cabinet, there was a large Kaststel or garniture of vases. It is tempting to think this vase would have been one of that type. It is noted by Van Aken-Fehmers (op.cit. p. 162) that the factory was producing eight-sided large garnitures. Examples of these kinds of polychrome wares are rare, and only a few vases with polychrome grand feu colours are known today, a fully marked garniture previously in the collection of Dr. F. H. Fentener van Vlissingen (1882-1962), is now with Aronson Antiquairs.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
