RARE 18TH CENTURY JACOBITE GLASS MID-18TH CENTURY the tall tapered bowl on a slight tapered hexagonal facetted stem all raised on an octagonal facetted circular foot, the underside of the bowl at join with stem with engraved arched and spiked decoration, which, when viewed through the base of the bowl when drinking displays a Jacobite rose Height: 20.5cm, Diameter of foot: 8.6cm Note: This 18th century Jacobite glass is a new discovery in the hidden symbolism used in glassware of the period. In Seddon's seminal work 'The Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses' no examples of the rose hidden in this form are recorded. The shape of glass is most commonly associated with English manufacture, and it may have been used by an English Jacobite supporter. Without doubt the English Jacobite supporters, post 1746, were closely watched by their Hanoverian neighbours and showing any overt support for the cause could result in lands being seized, status taken, and even death.
A 14IN. TAMPION FROM THE BATTLESHIP H.M.S. KING GEORGE V, 1939 with left-facing profile of the King, inscribed to outer edge GEORGES V DG BRITT:OMN:REX F. IND: IMP:, with crinkle rim -- 17in. (43cm.) diameterNameship for new class of five battleships ordered fro the Royal Navy in 1936, King George V was built by Vickers Armstrong at Barrow and was the frist of the class to be commissioned for service. Designed by Sir Arthur Johns but constructed during the tenure of this successor Sir Stanley Goodall, she was laid down in January 1937, launched on 3rd May 1939 and completed the following year. Displacing 38,000 tons (44,550 fully loaded), she measured 745 feet in length with 103 foot beam and carried a main armament of 10-14in. guns as well as a plethora of smaller weaponry. Massively armoured, her oil-fired single reduction geared turbines gave her a top speed of 29½ knots and, even at 27 knots, she had a range of 3,200 miles.Commissioned for the Home Fleet in October 1940, she was detached for V.I.P. duty in January 1941 when she took Lord Halifax to America where he was taking up the post of British Ambassador in Washington. Escorting a 'special' convoy home, she then provided cover for the commando assault on the oil installations on the occupied Norwegian Loften Islands on 4th March followed by participation in the search for Scharnhorst in April. Made flagship to the Home Fleet that same month, her most famous encounter came of 27th May 1941 when, in company with the battleship Rodney and cruiser Dorsetshire, she engaged and sank the German battleship Bismarck in what was widely regarded as the Royal Navy's most crucial action of the Second World War. Invariably referred to after this victory as the 'KG5', she was involved with the search for the Admiral Scheer in February 1942 and ten spend much of that year and the next on the highly dangerous Russian convoy run. After covering the Sicily landings in July 1943, she then occupied Taranto in September before returning home towards the end of the year. Refitted for service in the Far East, she arrived there in December 1944 to become second flagship. Actively engaged throughout the assaults on the various Japanese-held islands, she then supported the U.S. forces which attacked the mainland and was present at the final surrender in September. Flagship to the Home Fleet in the immediate post-War years, she was decommissioned in 1949, placed in reserve and finally scrapped in 1957.

A RARE 16IN. TAMPION FROM THE BATTLESHIP H.M.S. RODNEY, CIRCA 1927, heavily cast in brass with central device surrounded by rope grommet border and suspension hooks behind -- 19in. (48cm.) diameter, Provenance: UK Private Collection., H.M.S. Rodney was the second of the two ~Nelson~ class battleships ordered under the 1922 Building Programme, both of which were laid down on 28th December that year. Whilst the order for the nameship (H.M.S. Nelson) went to Armstrong~s on the Tyne, that for Rodney went to Cammell Laird at Birkenhead and she was launched there on 17th December 1925. Displacing 33, 950 tons (38, 000 fully loaded), she measured 710 feet in length with a 106 foot beam and had impressive armour protection ranging up to 16in. in thickness . She and her sister were the only British battleships to mount 16in. guns and, in addition to nine of these grouped in threes on her main turrets, she also mounted 12-6in. guns, an array of anti-aircraft weapons and 2-24in. torpedo tubes submerged forward. Completed in August 1927 at a final cost of 7.6 million, she served first in the Atlantic Fleet (1928-32) and thereafter in the Home Fleet from 1932-41. In April 1940, whilst acting as flagship to Admiral Forbes, she suffered bomb damage during the operations off Norway but was soon repaired and back in service in time to take part in the hunt for the Bismarck in May 1941. Ordered to leave the convoy she was escorting and join the chase for the German raider, her engineers achieved speeds thought to be impossible given some earlier problems with both her engines and boilers, and it was Rodney which scored the first hit on Bismarck with her third salvo. After Bismarck had been sunk, Rodney then returned to convoy escort work until laid up for a major refit (December 1941 -- May 1942) after which she was in action supporting the North African landings in November 1942. In June 1944 she participated in Operation Neptune, the naval contribution to the D-Day landings and later, on 12th August, she knocked out an unseen German battery on Alderney with a celebrated 16in. salvo fired over a hill. By the end of the War she had steamed 156, 000 miles since her 1942 refit and was long overdue for another; post-War financial stringency dictated economy however and it was eventually decided to scrap her in February 1948.
