A Chamberlain Worcester teacup and saucer from the 'Horatia Service', circa 1802-03The ogee shaped cup with an upswept handle, richly-decorated all over with the 'Fine Old Japan' pattern no.240, with Imari panels including a pot of flowers and a fence, reserving gold-ground panels finely painted with Ducal and Viscount's coronets and crests of the San Josef, the cup: 6.5cm high; the saucer: 15.5cm diam, the cup marked with the pattern number '240' (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceVice-Admiral Horatio, Lord NelsonEmma, Lady HamiltonThe Horatia Set was a Breakfast service and so it included special shapes such as egg cups, honey and butter pots and hot water plates for muffins. It also contained '12 Large Breakfast Cups and Saucers' and '12 Small ditto'. Curiously, when the set was subsequently invoiced by Chamberlains to Nelson's estate, these cups and saucers were described as '12 1/2 Pt bowls and stands' and '12 1/4 Pt bowls and stands'. The larger cups and saucers worked out at 1 guinea each, while the smaller ones cost 15s.9d each, plus extra for painting the crests and coronets.In the 'Trickey Inventory' of Lady Hamilton's possessions drawn up circa 1813 as surety for a loan, the Horatia Set still contained '12 Breakfast cups and 12 Saucers', although there were now only '11 Tea Cups and 12 Saucers'. The present lot is one of these teacups (or quarter-pint bowls). Emma Hamilton's china was divided and apparently, some of the Horatia set passed to Horatia herself (Horatia Nelson-Ward). Other parts of the set were sold and some was in Lord Bridport's collection, by descent from Earl Nelson's daughter Charlotte. Other cups and saucers from the set are now in museum collections. One was in the Worcester Porcelain Works Museum (prior to 1882) and this is still in the Museum of Royal Worcester. A breakfast cup and saucer is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, no.3299-1901, while another, from the Sutcliffe Smith Collection is in the National Maritime Museum, nos.AAA4526 and 4533.For further information on the Horatia Service please see the footnote to lot 41 in this sale.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 25
A pair of Flight, Barr and Barr Worcester vases by Thomas Baxter, circa 1814-16Of classical amphora shape with gilt scroll handles, everted rims and square bases, the apple green ground reserving oval panels edged with raised gilding, finely painted with 'St Cecelia' and 'Sappho', both titled underneath in Thomas Baxter's distinctive hand, 21.3cm high, impressed crowned FBB marks, titles and script marks in red (2)Footnotes:Ten years after he visited Merton for the last time, Thomas Baxter retained fond memories of Emma Hamilton. Working for Flight, Barr and Barr, he painted a small number of cabinet cups and vases with the heads of Sappho and St Cecelia, based on published images after fellow Royal Academician Richard Westall. The original painting of Sappho, now in National Museums Liverpool, was traditionally known as 'The Artist's Wife', but Westall never married and it is instead a portrait of Emma. To accompany Sappho on this pair of vases, Baxter has given us St Cecelia, after another of Richard Westall's portraits of Emma. A version of Emma as St Cecelia, said to be by Romney, was owned by Nelson and supposedly hung in his cabin, but it may well have hung for a time at Merton, where it was possibly seen by Thomas Baxter. It is hardly surprising that the likenesses on these Worcester vases appear closer to the real Emma Hamilton than the prints after Westall that Baxter copied.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 23
Nelson and Emma: An important Coalport cup and saucer by Thomas Baxter, dated 1804Of generous size, the cup finely painted in stipple technique with a profile portrait of Emma, Lady Hamilton, the saucer with an anchor fouled by rope entwined forming Nelson's initials 'N&B', sprouting berried laurels, on grounds gilt with remarkably delicate foliate scrollwork, the neoclassical borders in shades of salmon-pink, interrupted by paterae left white against the gold background, cup 6.2cm high, saucer 16cm diam, the cup signed 'TBaxter 1804' in neat black script (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceSotheby's New York, 21 October 1999, lot 185ExhibitedEmma Hamilton, Seduction and Celebrity, National Maritime Museum 2016-17On 27 May 1804, Nelson wrote to Emma from the Victory... 'Your dear phiz (face) - but not the least like you - on the cup, is safe; but I would not use it, for all the world; for, if it was broke, it would distress me very much.' Lady Hamilton's face was a well-documented one by 1804 but there is a good case for the present lot being that same cup that Nelson had in his cabin on Victory.John May's paper 'The 'Emma' Cup and Saucer', was published in the Trafalgar Chronicle in 2001, a little over a year after the lot sold at Sotheby's New York, with no mention of Nelson or Emma in the catalogue. It opened up the discussion as to the origins of this extraordinary piece of porcelain. Rina Prentice follows on from this paper recording the cup and saucer in 'The Authentic Nelson', 2005, p.146. However, a crucial misattribution to Chamberlain rather than Coalport has skewed the documentation of this important piece. Scholars have sought to make it the '1 cup and saucer with a likeness of Lady Hamilton' that is recorded in Chamberlain's order books in 1802, an understandable desire but an impossible reality. The facts remain that the porcelain is Coalport and that it was painted, signed and dated by Thomas Baxter in 1804. Baxter did not move to Worcester to paint there until 1814. The cup and saucer were almost certainly painted in his London studio on Gough Square. The exquisite and intimate nature of the decoration means that it must have been a bespoke order, most likely made by Emma for Nelson.As highlighted in the footnote to lot 21 in this sale, Baxter visited Merton on multiple occasions, sketched Emma and painted her likeness on a number of porcelain 'canvases'. However, the inspiration for her portrait on the cup is more likely after a 1798 portrait of Emma by Guy Head. Baxter may have studied this directly or more likely utilised a print of the portrait. Such an example, published by George Andrews on 14 February 1804, is in the Royal Collection, RCIN 655720, described as 'Head and shoulders, profile left, hair massed at back of head, fastened with fillet, white garment leaving neck bare'. In profile, with her classical hair-style, the portrait recalls the images of Emma used by Nelson in his seals, with which he would secure his many letters, including those written to Emma herself. The saucer too reveals an intimate association with Nelson and his letters. The finely painted monogram 'N&B' interlinked with an anchor references Nelson's signature in his correspondence. Countless letters to Emma were signed 'Nelson & Bronte'. Emma wore a dress with alternating panels embroidered 'Nelson' and 'Bronte', with fragments held in the collections at Greenwich and the Royal Naval Museum, Portsmouth. The cup and saucer have a discernible dialogue, Emma gazing at Nelson's monogram when the two are arranged closely. A similar sentiment might be said of the scene painted by Baxter in 1806 on the Coalport plate now in the V&A C.67-1984, showing Emma in the guise of Britannia unveiling a bust of the recently deceased Nelson. However, crucially, the cup and saucer was made during Nelson's lifetime, when the infamous love affair between the Admiral and his mistress was burning bright. The purpose of the piece is not to demonstrate mourning but love and desire. With the failing of the Peace of Amiens, Nelson went to sea in May 1803, not stepping foot on dry land until his brief and final visit to England in August and September 1805 and yet, we know that during this period communication and transport of goods between home and Victory was frequent. A letter from Nelson's secretary John Scott in May 1803 assures that, 'Mr Davison (Nelson's agent and friend) desires me to say that he will forward any parcel or package, he communicates twice a week with the Lord Nelson'. See Martyn Downer, Nelson's Purse (2004), p.236. Davison was also forwarding letters and parcels from Emma with great frequency as Nelson stayed at sea during his seemingly endless wait to engage the French and Spanish fleets in battle. It is therefore entirely plausible that the gift might have been commissioned by Emma for Nelson and sent to him on Victory, where he takes the chance to mention it, perhaps on the occasion of its arrival, in May 1804, when he writes to Emma to tell her that he dare not use the precious love token 'for all the world' in case it would be broken. Thankfully, the cup and saucer indeed survived and remain a testament to arguably the finest English porcelain decorator of the early 19th century and one of the same period's greatest and most controversial love affairs.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A Chamberlain Worcester small dish from the 'Horatia service', circa 1802-03Of oval shape with a lobed rim, richly-decorated with the 'Fine Old Japan' pattern no.240, the Imari border reserving four gold-ground medallions, the ends of the dish painted with a Ducal coronet and a Viscount's coronet, the side panels with the crests of the San Josef and Nelson's chelengk, 25.2cm wide, marked in full Chamberlains Worcester 240Footnotes:ProvenanceVice-Admiral Horatio, Lord NelsonEmma, Lady HamiltonThe original order for the Horatia Service, given to Chamberlain's in Worcester during Nelson's visit in August 1802, included '5 small dishes'. When the final invoice was drawn up in 1806, these are itemised as '4 Dishes 10 in' and '1 ditto 12 in' These cost £1.7s and £1.16s each. In addition, the individual crests and coronets cost another 8 shillings per dish. In the Chamberlain factory order, there is an additional charge for painting '5 Eqyptian Egrets' at 2/6d each. The oval dishes are the only shapes in the set that have four heraldic panels rather than three, and thus an extra egret (or chelengk) appears on the present lot.In the 'Trickey Inventory' of Lady Hamilton's possessions, drawn up circa 1813 as surety for a loan, the component parts of the 'Horatia Set' are listed. These dishes are incorrectly described as part of a supper set, matching them with a hot water plate from the service. The present lot is one of the four 10 inch dishes from the set. The 12 inch dish is now in the National Maritime Museum, no.AAA4544. Another of the 10 inch dishes was in the Charles Wentworth Wass Collection, exhibited by Thomas Goode & Co. in 1898, catalogue no. 60. This dish is now in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto and is illustrated by John Sandon, Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), p.243.For further information on the Horatia Service please see the footnote to lot 41 in this sale.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A fine Flight, Barr and Barr portrait medallion of Nelson by Thomas Baxter, circa 1815In biscuit porcelain, the circular medal embossed with a profile portrait, titled 'Admiral Lord Nelson', self-framed in deep blue and gold, the outer frame finely 'jewelled' with a linked chain of pearls and coloured jewels, the edge with gold and bronze bands, 8.2cm diam, script mark Flight Barr & Barr, Royal Porcelain Works, Worcester, London House 1 Coventry StreetFootnotes:ProvenanceBonhams, 18 October 2005, lot 55aThis rare medallion, originally discovered on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow, was one of a pair with a similar medallion of the Duke of Wellington. Another identical pair of Nelson and Wellington medallions is in Southend Museum and there is a single, untitled Nelson medallion in the Museum of Royal Worcester. This latter example, donated to the museum from the Rous Lench Collection, in signed on the reverse 'TB 1805', even though it wasn't made until the tenth anniversary of Trafalgar. Thomas Baxter worked for Flight, Barr and Barr in Worcester between 1814-16 and was famously an all-round 'decorator'. As well as being a fine painter, Baxter was also an accomplished modeller and gilder. It is possible that the jewelling on this medallion is also his work. It is said that Baxter modelled vase shapes while working for Flights, and a biscuit figure of a Classical maiden is also believed to be his work. Four finely-detailed portrait medallion subjects by Baxter are known. Aside from Nelson and Wellington, a self portrait of Thomas Baxter is recorded as well as a portrait of his father, Thomas Baxter Senior. See John Sandon, Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain, p.63.Thomas Baxter's close friendship with Emma Hamilton is discussed elsewhere in this catalogue. It is, however, unlikely that Baxter ever met Lord Nelson and his finely-modelled portrait will be based on the work of other medallists.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A Chamberlain Worcester milk jug from the 'Horatia Service', circa 1802-03The ovoid jug with an upswept handle and raised lip, richly-decorated with the 'Fine Old Japan' pattern no.240, with Imari panels reserving gold-ground medallions painted with a Ducal coronet, a Viscount's coronet and the crest of the San Josef, 14cm high, marked with the pattern number '240'Footnotes:ProvenanceVice-Admiral Horatio, Lord NelsonEmma, Lady HamiltonCharles Wentworth Wass CollectionThe Horatia breakfast service was a double set and contained two of each of the principal shapes. The original order, written in Chamberlain's ledgers following Nelson's visit in August 1802, included '2 Milks'. When the final invoice was drawn up in 1806, these were listed as '2 Cream Ewers'. These cost 9 shillings each with an additional charge of 5s.6d for adding the crest and coronets. That Chamberlains used both descriptions when listing the same service only adds to the age-old debate, whether jugs in tea sets should be called cream jugs or milk jugs.In the Trickey Inventory of Lady Hamilton's possessions, drawn up circa 1813 as surety for a loan, the component parts of the 'Horatia Set' were carefully listed. Both jugs were still present and were described as '2 Cream Ewers'. The present lot was among a number of items from the Horatia Set purchased by the Collector Charles Wentworth Wass. This jug was shown as part of the Wentworth Wass collection in a commemorative exhibition held by Thomas Goode & Co in 1898, illustrated as catalogue no.59. On his death in 1905, this jug was probably among items from the Charles Wentworth Wass collection sold by the London dealers Stoner and Evans. Wentworth Wass is known to have acquired Horatia Service pieces from Lord Bridport's collection, although none featured in the Bridport sale.The second of the two jugs from the Horatia Service is now in the Museum of Royal Worcester. It was in R.W.Binns' Works Museum Collection before 1900, although omitted from the printed 1882/1884 catalogues, so this was probably acquired for the collection at the end of the 19th century. It is illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Chamberlain-Worcester Porcelain (1982), pl.118.
