Lot 2108
A George III Silver Wine-Jug, by Thomas Heming, London, 1765 pear-shaped and on spiral-fluted conforming foot, the lower body with waved decoration below a band of chased fruiting grapevines, the upper-body spiral-fluted, with leaf-capped quilted handle and beak-form spout, engraved with initials28cm high, 36oz 2dwt, 1,123grProvenance: Probably Major General Henry Aylmer (1813-1904) and his wife Charlotte, daughter of John Gwatkin who he married in 1847, and by descent to his eldest son Henry Lovell Aylmer (1848-1882) and his wife the Hon. Isabella Aylmer, daughter of Sir Udolphus Aylmer, 7th Lord Aylmer who he married in 1872 and by descent to their third son Henry Adolphus Paget Aylmer (1876-1959) and his second wife Anne Munro Williams, who he married in 1922. Gifted by them to John and Peggy Pemberton on their wedding day 11 February 1936and by descent.The inscription reads 'John and Peggy Pemberton from Paget and Anne Aylmer Feb. 11th 1936'This fascinating jug is the pair to an example offered in these rooms on 22 May 2021 as lot 2202, presumably the pair were separated when one was given by Major General Henry Aylmer to each of his two sons. Like its pair, the form of the present jug most resembles a beer-jug, though the ornament used clearly shows that it could only have originally been intended for wine. As such it would seem to be an unusual survival of an identifiable wine-jug dating to the 18th century, and even more so as one of a pair. Michael Clayton notes that such jugs were nearly indistinguishable from ale-jugs during this period, though does illustrate a pair, also by Thomas Heming, which date to 1777 (M. Clayton, The Collector's Dictionary of the Silver and Gold of Great Britain and North America, London, 1971, p. 63, pl. 331).Unlike the present example that pair was decorated in the Neo-Classical style as would have been the fashion by the time they were made. Arthur Grimwade also illustrates a number of jugs in his book Rococo Silver, though as noted above their form is virtually unchanged from earlier examples. One however, made by Philips Garden and hallmarked for 1754, stands out (A. Grimwade, Rococo Silver, London, 1974, p. 38, pl. 17b). Like the present example it is exuberantly decorated, though Grimwade suggests it may have been intended for beer.Most interestingly perhaps is the depiction on Thomas Heming's trade card of a jug which, while of a somewhat more baluster form, shows the same use of ornament as on the present example with the suggestion of a quilted lower body and a spiral-fluted upper body and with fruiting grapevines between. An example of the trade card, believed to date to the 1760s-1770s, is in the collection of the British Museum (Heal,67.204), having been donated by Sir Ambrose Heal, Chairman of Heal's furniture store along with a large collection of other trade cards in 1960.As with the previous example, and noted when it appeared on the market in 2021, the early provenance of the present wine-jug remains something of a mystery The earliest definitively known provenance of the earlier offered example was Captain Edward Arthur Aylmer, D.S.C. and it was thought likely that it had entered the family through his mother, the daughter of Charles William Grenfell, M.P. (1823-1861). This seemed likely as he was known to be acquiring items at auction, for example at least three lots from the celebrated sale of the collection of the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos at Stowe House. Other items have appeared at auction, from the collection of Captain Edward, for example, a pair of Helena Wolfsohn porcelain vases and covers, sold in these rooms 22 May 2021, lot 56. The appearance of the present jug now pushes the provenance of the jug back to an earlier generation in the Aylmer family as the inscription shows this jug to have been in the possession of Henry Adolphus Paget Aylmer, the cousin of the owner of the other example. This suggests ownership by a common ancestor by the name of Major General Henry Aylmer (1813-1904). His will, the probate for which was granted on 26 April 1904, comprises some nine pages, including no fewer than four codicils, commands that '...all my furniture plate linen jewels ornaments pictures chine wines liquors and other household effects of a like nature...' be given to his wife Charlotte Louisa Aylmer. While he suggests that his trustees take an inventory of the said chattels the will itself does not detail the items generally or the plate specifically. In any case it seems likely that the two jugs would have been given as gifts during his lifetime.The jug was a wedding gift to John Sigerist Blanshard Pemberton and his wife Margaret Alexandra, nee Cleghorn. The reception following the wedding was held at 474 Mount Pleasant Avenue in Westmount, Montreal Canada, the family home of the Cleghorn family which had been built in 1892 for J. K. Ward, a lumber baron and mayor of Westmount between 1875 and 1883. This lot has been imported from outside the United Kingdom under the Temporary Admission scheme. VAT will be charged at 5% of the hammer price and 20% on the buyer's premium.Fully marked underneath. The marks are clear. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The wear is noticeable as typical minor softening to the high points and the engraving. There is a small area of disturbance where the foot meets the body.
