An exceptionally rare coloured Limehouse salt, circa 1746-48Of circular form moulded with three floral sprays in high-relief, the petals and foliage picked out in shades of blue, green, yellow and orange, raised on three lion mask and paw feet with their features picked out in shades of brown and orange, all on a claret ground, 10.3cm wideFootnotes:ProvenanceWatney CollectionIllustrated in the ECC's Limehouse Ware Revealed (1993), p.55, col. pl.VX. Of the 21 or so pieces of coloured Limehouse extant, only three coloured salts are recorded, which appear in two very different forms. The present lot is the only example recorded in this particular form. The other comprises a pair of salts of quatrelobed form, raised on four bright green lion mask and paw feet, painted in bold famille rose style with flowers and a long-tailed bird, see Bernard Watney, 'Limehouse Coloured Ware', ECC Trans, Vol.15, Pt.1 (1993), p.69, figs.20 and 21. One of these is illustrated beside the present lot in the ECC's Limehouse Ware Revealed (1993), p.55, col. pl.XIV and was sold as part of the Watney Collection by Phillips on 22 September 1999, lot 128. Whilst no evidence of enamelling was found on the Limehouse factory site, closely related enamel decoration is found on Chinese and Japanese porcelain, enamelled in Europe. Whilst it is possible that the present lot was decorated in Holland, it is more likely that it is the work of a Dutch enameller working in England. See the footnote to lot 269 in this sale. A unique and very misshapen Limehouse salt decorated in underglaze blue, has lion head and paw feet like the present lot. It was sold by Bonhams as part of the Susi and Ian Sutherland Collection, 3 October 2007, lot 117, where it was purchased by Rosalie Sharp and illustrated in China to Light Up a House Vol.1 (2015), p.178, no.605. Also illustrated by Ray Jones, The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), p.221, it is the only blue and white Limehouse salt recorded.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A fine Dutch stipple-engraved light baluster wine glass attributed to 'Gyrinius', circa 1765-75The round funnel bowl finely decorated with a stone-arched wine cellar with its wooden doors wide open, within which a cherub seated amongst barrels, drawing wine from a cask into a bottle, a nude winged cherub holding a half-filled long-stemmed wine glass in his outstretched right hand before a finely dressed lady standing before him, she reaching for the glass with her right hand, a banner above inscribed 'HANSIE IN DE KELDER' (Little Hans in the Cellar), the stem with an angular shoulder knop above a further knop and beaded inverted baluster terminating in a basal knop, over a conical foot, 17.9cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceChristie's Amsterdam, 2 May 2006, lot 186Property of a Gentleman'Hansje' goblets were used at gatherings of relatives and friends to discreetly announce that one of the ladies present, presumably the hostess, was pregnant. Whilst the present lot is unrecorded by F G A M Smit in his catalogue, Uniquely Dutch Eighteenth-Century Stipple-Engravings on Glass (1993), he does record four glasses stippled with very similar scenes and identical inscriptions all by the same hand, see pp.129-30, nos.Dd.22 to Dd.25. Smit does not attribute these to a specific engraver, but the way in which the hair and wings of the cherub and the hair and sleeves of the lady have been delineated in fine diamond-point suggests that the engraving is attributable to 'Gyrinius'.Whilst he never signed any of his engravings, 'Gyrinus' is associated with designs on 24 extant goblets known as 'polder glasses', originally commissioned by members of the Water Board office 'De Hooge Maasdijk van Stad en Lande van Heusden' between 1762 and 1788, which were sold by Christie's as part of the Earl of Bradford Collection on 4 June 1985. These particular glasses are all partly, and a few wholly, line-engraved in very fine diamond-point. With a handful of exceptions, the engraved decoration is distinctive in the use of 'pseudo-stippling' in which the decoration is formed of a pattern of fine and dense lines which give the impression of stippling.The engraving on the present lot bears particularly close similarities to a group of goblets all of very similar form which are inscribed 'INCLINATIE' on a banner, attributed by Smit (1993) to this elusive engraver on the grounds that their fine stippling incorporates some line work, see p.148, nos.Eb.29 to Eb.31. One of these is illustrated by Sheppard and Smith, Engraved Glass Masterpieces from Holland (1990), pp.68-9, no.33, who attribute it to an unknown contemporary of David Wolff. The stylistic similarities in the rendering of the grassy sward and banner between this and the present lot are particularly apparent.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
An exceptionally rare quarter size 'Onion' wine bottle or apothecary vial, circa 1700-20In pale aqua-green glass and of most attractive small size, the rounded bulbous body with a tapering neck applied with a string rim, with a 'kick-up' base, 10.7cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceSotheby's, 28 May 1997, lot 8A C Hubbard Jr CollectionLiteratureWard Lloyd, A Wine Lover's Glasses (2000), p.109, pl.159It is exceptionally rare to find an 'Onion' bottle in such a small size. Two quarter size 'Shaft and Globe' bottles also in aqua-green glass are illustrated alongside the present lot by Ward Lloyd (2000), p.109, pl.159, and were sold as part of the A C Hubbard Jr Collection by Bonhams on 20 June 2023, lot 49 and by Bonhams Skinner on 18 October 2023, lot 89 respectively. It is possible that this bottle served as an apothecary vial considering that most early wine bottles were manufactured from dark green vernacular glass to protect the contents from light and hide visible impurities in wine. No quarter size 'Onion' bottles are recorded by David Burton in his catalogue, Antique Sealed Bottles (2015), but for a sealed 'Onion' bottle of standard size in aqua-green glass see lot 42 in this sale.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
An important Limehouse punch tureen and cover, circa 1746-48Of circular form raised on four lion mask and paw feet with details picked out in blue, with two elaborate scroll and shell moulded handles, the low domed cover with a twig finial issuing leaves, the sides painted in blue with two tree-lined European landscape scenes, one depicting a bridge with two swans swimming beneath, two figures herding sheep in the distance, one on horseback, the other with a building and two figures before a flock of sheep and a cow, vine leaves between the handle terminals, the cover with a continuous landscape depicting three classical scenes of winged putti, including two with a basket of fruit, one beside a bird in a cage, and one standing having released two birds in flight above, the rim with a scrolled border, a thorny rose spray to the interior and another underneath the cover, 28cm wide across handles, 18.5cm high (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceWatney CollectionIllustrated by Bernard Watney, 'Four Groups of Porcelain, possibly Liverpool', ECC Trans, Vol.4, Pt.5 (1959), pl.7a (as Liverpool), by Bernard Watney, English Blue and White Porcelain (1963), pl.43d (as Liverpool), and on the front and back covers of ECC Trans, Vol.17, Pt.1 (1999) as a tribute to Bernard Watney. These covered tureens were probably the most costly of all Limehouse porcelain and are remarkable not only for their size, but also for the quality of the painting. The distinctive style of painting represented by these bowls is Continental rather than English. It relates to a distinct group of Limehouse dry mustard pots with classical decoration, see lot 265 in this sale. It also relates to a distinct group of large sauceboats with very similar European landscapes and identical rose sprays to the centre, with a single vine leaf to the pouring lips, see lot 266 in this sale. All of these must certainly be by the same hand.It has been suggested that these tureens were intended for serving mulled wine or punch, as all have vine leaves in the spaces and Geoffrey Godden had an example with grapes to the interior. Including the present lot, just five examples are recorded, each apparently painted by the same hand. One of these, lacking its cover but painted with identical European landscape scenes, is in the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina (inv. no.D1981.99.9). The second example was purchased by Geoffrey Godden from Liane Richards, who had bought it at Sotheby's in 1996. This was sold by Bonhams as part of the Geoffrey Godden Collection on 30 June 2010, lot 42, there purchased by Rosalie Sharp. In her book, China to Light up a House, Vol.1 (2015), p.173, Rosalie Sharp recounts her excitement when she received the piece that she had previously seen only in photographs. Her example had been illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcelain (2004), pp.86-7, col. pls.21 and 22 and pp.99-100, pls.104 and 105. Example number three is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no.C.260&A-1938) and this is also illustrated by Godden (2004), pls.102 and 103 and by Ray Jones, The Origins of Worcester Porcelain (2018), p.218. The fourth example, lacking its cover, is in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool Museums. The present lot is the only example with a twig finial to the cover.European landscape decoration on Limehouse falls into two distinct groups. One features large and prominent figures, while in the other group represented here, the figures are diminutive with the emphasis on the landscape itself, the scenes framed by trees and buildings. The cottage with a picket fence is a form of decoration which originated at Limehouse but was also used at Lund's Bristol.

A very rare sealed 'Onion' wine bottle, dated 1725In pale aqua-green glass, the rounded bulbous body with a tapering neck applied with a string rim, applied to the shoulder with a circular seal indistinctly inscribed 'ROGER COMBERBACH CHESTER 1725' encircling a turreted castle or pedestal surmounted by a fleur-de-lis, within an inner border, with a large basal 'kick-up', 17.3cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceWith Neil Willcox, 9 October 2001A C Hubbard Jr CollectionLiteratureWard Lloyd, Investing in Georgian Glass (1969), pp.90-1David Burton, Antique Sealed Bottles (2015), pp.612-3The Comberbach family settled in Nantwich in Cheshire for many generations and probably assumed their name from the local town of Comberbach near Great Budworth. The individual named on the seal was the son of Roger Comberbach, who has married Alice Street of Chester in 1683. The younger Roger Comberbach was born shortly afterwards and was described as a gentleman and Freeman of the Rolls in 1712, the same year he was appointed town clerk. He married Margaret Swetenham of Chester in 1717. He was appointed Prothonotary of the Palatine of Chester in 1734 and died in 1757. Only one other similar bottle is recorded by Burton, in the collection of Grosvenor Museum, Chester (inv. no.1967.596). It is exceptionally rare to find a sealed bottle in aqua glass considering that most early wine bottles were manufactured from dark green vernacular glass to protect the contents from light and hide visible impurities in wine.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
