Bonhams

Lot 167

A very rare American glass target ball by E E Sage & Co and an A H Bogardus ball, dated 1877Of moulded globular bottle shape with short narrow necks, the first in deep amber or brown inscribed all-over 'E.E. SAGE & CO PATAPLYD/ GLASS M'F'R'S CHICAGO ILL', read from bottom to top, 7.7cm high, the other in golden amber glass moulded with a quilted diamond design, the central band inscribed 'BOGARDUS' GLASS BALL PAT'D APR 10 1877.', 7.8cm high (2)Footnotes:Target balls were a relatively short-lived forerunner to the modern clay pigeon, with the first target ball shooting being reported in England in an issue of Bell's Life in London on 11 May 1867. They were typically filled with feathers and corked to simulate a bird being hit. Whilst the sport never fully took off in Britain, it became very popular in the United States driven most notably by Captain A H Bogardus, who patented his first ball and trap on 10 April 1877. Edwin E Sage subsequently patented a 'superior' advertising target ball on 21 August 21 1877, but a successful trademark infringement case filed by Bogardus combined with failing health caused him to close his business and he had left Chicago by late 1878. During their short time E E Sage & Co. produced balls in both blue and amber glass with moulding in three variants. Their target balls are incredibly rare, with only six or so recorded prior to the discovery of the present example, so this represents a remarkable survival.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Bonhams

Lot 346

A very rare creamware 'Welshman' Toby jug, circa 1790The portly gentleman seated with a goat beneath his legs, his head turned to one side, holding a foaming jug with both hands, wearing a mottled green coat, light blue waistcoat and brown breeches, shoes and hat, 26.3cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceJames and Timmey Challenger Collection, ChicagoWhile the idea of a Welshman mounted on a goat may just be an attempt at bawdy humour, in his catalogue in 1922, Capt. Price first suggested that this curious jug was meant to represent Sir Watkin William Wynn, celebrated Master of the Cycle Club and one of the most notorious Welshmen of his day. Sadly, there is no evidence to support this claim.Welsh regiments have had a goat as their mascot since the 18th century. The tradition goes back to the American War of Independence in 1775 when a wild goat wandered onto the battlefield at Bunker Hill and ended up leading the Welsh regimental Colours off the battlefield. A decade or so later the goat mascot supports this 'Welsh Country Gentleman', to give this jug its alternative name.Only two other creamware examples are recorded, one in the Bute Collection, Christie's 8 July 1996, lot 53, and the other exhibited by Jonathan Horne in 2003. Four pearlware examples are known. One was in the Bute Collection, lot 52 and one in the Price Collection, Astbury, Whieldon and Ralph Wood Figures and Toby Jugs (1922), pl.XLVI, fig.34. An example in the Christopher Bibby Collection was sold by Christie's 6 October 1970, lot 9 and another from the Sir Harold Mackintosh Collection was sold by Bonhams on 5 June 2019, lot 113. Most early authors have stated that this is not a product of the Wood family and it is quite different to the Midshipman family by Jacob Marsh. Among other possible creamware and pearlware makers it is worth considering the Cambrian Pottery in Swansea. Some underglaze blue sprigs noted on Swansea pearlware have similarities to those used on the Welshman jugs.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Bonhams

Lot 29

A Dutch moulded and silver-mounted flask, second half 17th CenturyOf translucent amethyst glass, the squat globular body decorated overall with 'nipt diamond waies', the tall slender neck with a single ring collar, the silver cover attached to the neck collar by a chain, 24cm highFootnotes:It was not until the latter part of the 17th century that the use of carafes became common in northern Europe, many of which were mounted in silver or gilt bronze. The technique of 'nipt diamond waies' originated in Venice and was popular in the Netherlands for decorating such bottles and flasks in the 17th century. The term was first used in 1677 by George Ravenscroft who used the technique to decorate early British vessels of lead glass and this method of ornament continued in England into the first half of the 18th century. A similar amethyst glass bottle is illustrated by Franz Adrian Drier, Venezianische Gläser (1989), p.98, no.94. A smaller example in amethyst glass with 'nipt diamond waies' was in the Krug Collection sold by Sotheby's on 7 July 1981, lot 143. See also the related amethyst example moulded with ribs, lot 138. A very similar example in blue glass in the Rijksmuseum (inv. no.BK-KOG-135) is illustrated by Pieter Ritsema van Eck, Glass in the Rijksmuseum (1993), pp.188-9, no.299. Another in blue glass with an applied handle from the Overduin Collection was sold by Bonhams on 21 May 2014, lot 19.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 9

An exceptionally rare Dutch engraved façon de Venise wine glass, circa 1660-70The round funnel bowl finely wheel-engraved with a continuous landscape scene, one side with a winged Cupid taming a bridled lion, holding a bow and arrow in one hand, the other with Cupid riding on the back of an eagle in flight, holding an open book in one hand and an olive branch in the other, three baying hounds beneath, two lovebirds in an olive tree to one side, a single bird perched in a tree to the other, the stem formed from a pair of tightly coiled ropes, both containing spiralling threads in opaque white and translucent turquoise, the upper terminals applied with opposing aquamarine raspberry prunts, the conical foot further engraved with three floral sprigs, 16.1cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceChristie's sale, 7 June 1988, lot 273Private British CollectionThe scenes on this glass are taken from the Ambacht van Cupido (The Trade of Cupid) in Nederduytsche Poemata by Daniël Heinsius, first published in 1616 and reprinted several times. Cupid flying on the back of an Eagle is after emblem 23, 'Amor eruditus' (Learned love). Cupid taming the Lion is after emblem 24, 'Omnia vincit Amor' (Love conquers all). Heinsius pioneered the use of the Dutch language for poetry. 'Omnia vincit Amor' was first published as emblem 1 in Heinsius' Quaeris quid sit amor? in circa 1601, which was the very first love emblem book ever written in Dutch.The glass itself belongs to a small group of engraved glasses which originated in the Southern Netherlands in the mid-17th century, influenced by Nuremburg decoration, see Pieter C Ritsema van Eck, 'Early Wheel Engraving in the Netherlands', Journal of Glass Studies, vol.26 (1984), pp.86-101 for a discussion. Several glasses engraved in similar style have related serpent stems terminating in two 'heads', which are characteristic of the Southern Netherlands, see pp.98-102, figs.35-7, 41 and 45. Unlike glasses decorated in the Northern Netherlands, these typically have wreaths engraved around the feet, of which floral sprigs on the foot of the present glass would appear to be a variant. A goblet and cover with related decoration, bearing a portrait of Charles II of Spain and two putti executed in very similar style, was sold by Bonhams on 20 November 2019, lot 7. Compare also to the goblet and cover from the Mühleib Collection sold by Bonhams on 2 May 2013, lot 52.

Lot 450

A Flight Worcester plate from the first Duke of Clarence service, circa 1789The scalloped edge painted with an elaborate border formed from entwined bands in blue and green ribbon enclosing Orders of the Garter, St Andrew and the Thistle, together with sprigs of roses and thistles, the central royal arms of the Duke of Clarence hung with the Order of St Andrew flanked by laurel and oak leaves, 24.3cm diam, marked 'Flight' with a crown and crescent in underglaze blueFootnotes:This was the first royal armorial service made at Worcester. George III had visited Flights the previous year and possibly the King encouraged his son, Prince William Henry, to order a set to commemorate his having been awarded the Order of the Thistle along with the title 'Duke of Clarence and St Andrews'. In 1789 the Duke also retired from active service as a Rear Admiral and this perhaps inspired the choice of a central victory wreath featuring oak leaves, a reference to the British Navy. Another plate from the service was sold by Bonhams on 23 June 2021, lot 243. See also an example from the Ewers-Tyne Collection of Worcester porcelain at Cheekwood, illustrated and discussed in John Sandon's catalogue (2008), p.98, no.60.

George Horatio Davenport. Sold by Russell Baldwin & Bright, The Contents of Foxley, 1948. Acquired by Miss Davenport for Compton Bassett House. Thence removed to The Thatch, Compton Bassett.Thence by descent to the vendor.John Davenport was largely a self-made man and although he had no family background in the pottery business he founded an internationally renowned business bearing his name. John Davenport began potting in 1785, first as a workman, and later as a partner with Thomas Wolfe of Stoke. In 1794 he acquired his own pottery at Longport for the manufacturing earthenware. In 1830 he retired, and two of his sons Henry and William ran the business until 1835, when Henry died. The firm was then known as William Davenport and Company. William died in 1869, and his two sons took over the direction of the business, which remained in the family until 1887.John Davenport also founded a glass works and stood as a Member of Parliament. He purchased the Westwood Estate, near Leek from the Hon.

The bureau is 18th century and the upper section is of 20th century constructionThe red lacquer surface and decoration to all elements is later. There are various small adaptations and later mouldings to the bureau section. The interior of the bureau is also 20th century adaptation. Although the decorated surface is later it has been well executed and the decoration is of high quality. Overall the bookcase has an impressive appearance. All elements with the expected marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Various old splits and chips. Wear, rubbing and some losses to the chinoiserie decoration in places throughout. The handles and escutcheons are later replacements. Lockplates are period replacements and have later screws securing them. A key is present but only operates the lock to the fall. The interiors of all drawers have a later dark wash applied. The doors use old mirror plates. These have significant depletion, losses and 'bloom'. Some evidence of old worm to bureau section. The bracket feet and shaped apron are later.

A WILLIAM & MARY WALNUT AND 'SEAWEED' MARQUETRY BUREAU POSSIBLY BY GERRIT JENSEN, CIRCA 1690The fall opening to an arrangement of small drawers and shelves above a velvet inset writing surface92cm high, 56cm wide, 45cm deep overallProvenance: Private Collection, LondonFor a remarkably closely related bureau see, Christie's, London, English Furniture, 8th July 1999, Lot 35 (£161,000). Born in Holland and trained in Paris before settling in London, Gerrit Jensen (fl. 1667 - d. 1715) was arguably the most important cabinet maker in England during the second half of the 17th century and beginning of the 18th century. Based in Long Acre and St. Martin's Lane, London, his bills are the first to record floral marquetry and his stile was strongly influenced by the French taste of the period, two stylistic qualities seen on the bureau here. Numerous influential noblemen were among his clients and receipts for his furniture are recorded for some of the grandest country houses, including Burghley House (Lincolnshire), Chatsworth (Derbyshire), Arundel Castle (Sussex), Knole (Kent), and Petworth House (Sussex). Most notably, Jensen held the post of cabinet maker in ordinary to to successive monarchs from James II to Queen Anne and had hundreds of items commissioned for the royal residences at Whitehall, St James, Somerset House, Kensington Palace, Windsor Castle and Hampton court. Provenance: Exhibited in Bath Assembly Rooms, International Treasures 1973, No.101.Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Various old splits, chips and some losses (see images). Polished appearance to timber. Some fading to timbers. Old repairs to veneers (see images for details). Larger split across the front of the fall. Section of the paper rest to the front of the fall has been re-secured. The escutcheon to the fall is lacking. The inset fabric to the interior is later and has wear, fading and losses. Axe head handles to the interior drawers and the lopers are replacements. Locks are 18th century replacements. A key is present and opens all locks. The lock plate to the fall is engraved and is of exceptional quality. A key is present and operates all locks. There are plugged holes to the drawer fronts from where handles previously sat. There are also some areas of filler around the escutcheons where these have been replaced. The legs are original but there is glue residue, thin later blocks and some repaired splits where they meet the main body of the bureau. This suggests they have been re-secured in position. The feet are well matched old replacements. The turned finial to the centre of the stretcher is likely a replacement. Some evidence of old worm.

Y A REGENCY MAHOGANY AND BRASS MOUNTED SOFA GAMES TABLE CIRCA 1820 Of small proportions, the sliding and reversible top inlaid with a games board to one side, the top sliding to reveal a silk lined and divided compartment 72cm high, 99cm wide (with leaves up), 46cm deep Provenance: Private Collection, LondonCondition Report: Overall there are marks, scratches, knocks and abrasions consistent with age and use. There is some sun fading overall and from one side more than the other; some of the shellac has opaque scratches. The top has some cracks to the corner of the sliding central 'board' section, and when reversed the chequer board is darker in colour, some veneers to the chequer board are slightly lifting. There are knocks to the edges of the sliding central board and it is missing some sections of the beading that slides inside the groove of the table. Some repairs to the groove recess. The grooved recess for the board is slightly tapering so that when in place there is a tapering gap to one side. The removable two division tray has marks to the later green fabric lining. The tray fits within the recess, but due to the movement to one side of the top (referred to above making the recess for the board slightly tapered) it fits by being placed in from one side first, rather than in a single upward motion. Some movement to one of the drop leaves; some movement to the gilt metal pierced gallery, to one end section in particular. Whilst the joints are secure, the table has some movement when pushed from side to side. All that said, many of these comments on condition are apparent only on close inspection. A skilled restorer could rectify many of these points. Please see the additional photographs as a visual reference of condition. Condition Report Disclaimer
