Lot 43
A good Admiral Byng wine glass, c.1763, the round funnel bowl engraved with the admiral hanging from a gibbet flanked by the initials A B, the reverse inscribed JUSTICE, raised on an airtwist stem above a conical foot, 16cm. Admiral John Byng was a Royal Naval officer and an MP from 1751 until his death in 1757. During the Seven Years War, Byng was sent to relieve a besieged garrison at Minorca. With his ships in a poor state of repair, Byng opted to return to Gibraltar to see to his ships and await further promised resources. On his return to Britain he was court-martialled for failing to "do his utmost" to prevent the loss of Minorca. He was executed by firing squad on 14th March 1757 - the engraving on the glass being symbolic rather than accurate - despite appeals to King George II for clemency. Byng was seen by many as a scapegoat for the Admiralty's inefficiency and the execution in this way of such a high-ranking officer divided the country. His descendants today continue to campaign for a posthumous pardon.
Lot 47
A privateer wine glass, c.1780, the drawn trumpet bowl engraved 'J Barton / Success to the Unity', raised on a plain stem with a long teardrop above a folded conical foot, 18cm. More than one ship called The Unity was involved in the American Wars of Independence, and it is likely that this glass relates to one of them. Paper label for the Scrivener collection.
Lot 74
A Jacobite portrait firing glass, c.1740, the trumpet bowl rising from a short teardrop stem and engraved with the head and shoulders of Bonnie Prince Charlie, with the motto 'Audentior Ibo', raised on a thick firing foot, 10.5cm. Cf. Geoffrey B. Seddon, Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses, p.90, pl.30 for a similar example.
Lot 75
A Dutch-engraved Orangist goblet, c.1740-50, the rounded funnel bowl engraved with monogrammed initials within a crowned band inscribed 'Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense', flanked by fruiting orange branches, the reverse engraved 'Vivat Oranje', raised on a knopped baluster stem above a conical folded foot, 21cm. A similar glass with a beaded knopped stem is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum, New York, gifted by Mrs Edward Holbrook and John S Holbrook.
