BATTLE OF PORTOBELLO A Liverpool delftware plate, c.1740, finely painted in pale blue with a scene of warships engaged in the bombardment of the fort, the rim with a formal grapevine border, extensively broken and restuck, 26.9cm. In the conflict between the English and Spanish in the Caribbean that became known as 'The War of Jenkins Ear', and following earlier failed British blockade attempts, Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon, against much criticism and with a squadron of just six ships, appeared off Portobello on 20th November 1739. With the wind from the east, Vernon attacked the Castillo del Hierro and the English scaled the walls of the fort. The Spanish surrendered, the English occupied and destroyed much of the town before withdrawing after three weeks, thus ending the town's main function as a Spanish maritime base. Vernon's popularity was short-lived, however, following his later failed attempt to take the fortress at Cartagena. Suffering heavy British casualties in Cuba, he returned to England in 1742 disgraced. Provenance: with Garry Atkins, March 2000.

An unrecorded Liverpool porcelain tile, circa 1760-65possibly Richard Chaffers or William Reid factories, painted in underglaze blue with a chinoiserie landscape of a tree growing from rockwork beside a fence, birds in flight above, also glazed on the back and sides, 13.5cm x 13.3cm, incised numeral 6Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Thelma Shepley Tile CollectionNo other tile would appear to be recorded in 18th century English porcelain. Tiles of a similar size were staple products of Liverpool delftware factories but at this date porcelain makers would have had great difficultly preventing kiln distortion and keeping any tiles flat. It is interesting to note that, unlike delftware tiles, this unique porcelain tile has been glazed on the back and sides.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The modelling is more detailed on the present monochrome version, with the fish scales simulated individually with light moulding. Most asymmetrical pairs of delftware wall pockets occur as mirror images of each other, but the small number of recorded pairs of fish pockets are all of identical form.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A very rare Worcester bowl, circa 1755-56Of small size, painted in blue with a stylised European landscape featuring a windmill raised on a platform, a stream alongside, flanked by a simple thatched cottage and a tree with 'sponged' foliage, the reverse with a figure in a punt-like boat before distant mountain peaks, 12.5cm diam, two lines incised inside the footrimFootnotes:This decoration is extremely rare on Worcester. One other small Worcester bowl with related decoration featuring a windmill as the primary subject was in the Beechwood Collection exhibited by Simon Spero, 2016 exhibition, no.37. The treatment of the underglaze painting is similar to the celebrated 'Burrell Bowl' sold by Bonhams as part of the Zorka Hodgson Collection on 10 September 2008, lot 60, which is the only other piece of Worcester blue and white from this period recorded with a European landscape. All three bowls feature sketchily painted decoration reminiscent of delftware, with excessive use of shading and trees with distinctive foliage. The appearance is similar to some blue and white porcelain of similar date produced at Vauxhall and some Liverpool factories and it is possible that such pieces were painted by itinerant delftware painters.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
