A Staffordshire creamware commemorative jug of American and Whig interest, possibly Wedgwood, printed with an American brig under partial sail above trophies of war, verso with an oval map of Canada and the original thirteen colonies, beneath an angel with trumpet and laurel wreath trailing ribband inscribed WASHINGTON, below this, the first President stands beside a figure with liberty bonnet who gestures towards His Majesty's loyal Canadian provinces, opposite, a seated figure of Benjamin Franklin rests a copy of the Declaration of Independence upon his knee, 26cm high, circa 1800 (small chips and scratches). Note: It is possibly that this jug commemorates the death of George Washington, first President of the United States (1732-99). It is often forgotten that this war was really a civil war between Whigs and Tories, those loyal and those not, rather than the more modern view of plucky Americans versus perfidious Albion and jugs such as this would not only have been produced for export but presumably also for those with Whiggish tendencies at home who supported the rebellious colonists.
