Provenance: from the Phil Medgett Collection of Toby Jugs. Paul Pry was John Liston`s most memorable comic role, first appearing onstage in September 1825 as part of John Poole`s three act farce. The play centred around this interfering busybody who was in the habit of leaving an umbrella behind at all times, in order to give him an excuse to return and eavesdrop.
A pair of Chamberlain`s armorial dishes from a dessert service c.1820, the wells painted with the arms of the Clifford-Constable family within gadrooned borders of three floral panels reserved on a claret ground, impressed and painted marks, 26.5cm. (2) The armorial on the dish is of Constable quartering Clifford, Martin, Blount and Aston; impaling Chichester quartering Raleigh and Pownell for the marriage of Sir Thomas Aston Clifford-Constable, 3rd baronet of North Ferriby, Yorkshire to his first cousin, Marianne Chichester of Calverleigh Court, Devon on 28th September 1827.
A Meissen oval salt c.1770, the deep well raised on a tripod stand applied with three female figureheads, painted with continuous foliate designs in blue and gilt, and a pair of 19th century Meissen oval salts decorated with a form of the Onion pattern, blue crossed swords marks, some damage to the first, 8.5cm max.

A Worcester armorial saucer c.1758, printed in black with an elaborate scrolling and floral cartouche, the central shield painted with the arms of Wilson impaling Langton, 11.7cm. Cf. H Rissik-Marshall, Coloured Worcester Porcelain of the First Period, pl. 35, no. 754. A small number of these services were made by the factory using printed blanks and decorating the arms to order, possibly at external ateliers such as that of James Giles. However, the British Museum has a teapot stand from the same service and notes that the arms are incorrectly painted.
