During the Empire, he favoured forms after the Antique, drawing inspiration from the collection of Etruscan ceramics belonging to Baron Dominique Vivant Denon (1747-1825), which had been sold to the Sèvres factory in 1786. The neo-classical shape of this bouillon bowl is a testament to this. A first drawing of this shape, probably by Claude-Charles Gérard in 1803, bears the inscription 'Coupe à bouillon et sa soucoupe à deux anses à moulures an XI mois ventôse' [Bouillon cup and saucer with two handles with mouldings in the 11th month of Ventôse] (February-March 1803). The actual name of 'coupe à bouillon hémisphérique' however does not appear until 1804, on a drawing by Charles-Eloi Asselin (Sèvres, Cité de la Céramique, inv. 2011.3.2105, ill. 1).The technical improvements made during the First Empire made it possible to create painted and gilt decoration of unparalleled quality. The manufactory developed new decorative schemes based on nature, proof of the interest in natural history at the beginning of the 19th century. These included depictions of hard stones, precious stones, marble, fauna and flora, sometimes called mosaïque, as can be seen on the present lot. Like the royal factories of Vienna and Berlin, Sèvres explored the decorative elements based on the art of trompe-l'oeil, mixing different coloured backgrounds and material effects. A similarly decorated cabaret service was presented to the Countess de Montesquiou as a New Year's present in 1813, now at the Cooper Hewitt Museum. This kind of richly decorated coupe was a common New Year's gift from the Emperor's household. A 'coupe à bouillon hémisphérique' decorated with a horse race on the Champ de Mars was offered as a New Year's present in 1812 to the Countess of Montalivet and is now in the Château de Fontainebleau.On 12 May 1814, two coupes of this shape with decoration en imitation de mosaïque, were entered in the sale records. Unfortunately, it is not possible to precisely identify the present lot. However, the records from 1815 that relate to porcelain delivered to the Bonaparte family by the order of the Prussian Commissioner Kapsh mention two bowls of this shape with relief decoration, certainly the same coupes as those entered in May 1814.Jérôme Bonaparte, King of WestphaliaJérôme Bonaparte (1784-1860) was a French prince, the son of Charles-Marie Bonaparte and Maria-Létizia Ramolino, and Napoleon's youngest brother. He was King of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813.In August 1807, his brother arranged for him to marry Princess Catherine of Württemberg, daughter of Frederick I of Württemberg, and six days later, he was appointed King of Westphalia. Diane, Duchess of WürttembergPrincess Diane of France, née Diane d'Orléans (1940 -), and Duchess of Württemberg is married to Charles Marie Duke of Württemberg, current head of the House of Württemberg. He belongs to the fifth branch of the House of Württemberg and a descendant of Alexander of Württemberg (1771-1833), the brother of Frederick I of Württemberg and the father of Catherine, the wife of Jérôme Bonaparte.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

WW2 Submariners Distinguished Service Medal (D.S.M) Group of Six Awarded to Stoker A S Webb, Who Served on the Torbay Under Commander Anthony Miers V.C., D.S.O. Awarded For Gallantry In Working the Periscope During Six Successful Torpedo Attacks, group comprises George VI D.S.M “KX77734 A S WEBB STO.1 HMS TORBAY”, 1939-45 star, Atlantic star, Africa star, Italy star and WW2 War medal, all un-named as issued. DSM London Gazette 7th October 1941 ‘For courage, enterprise and devotion to duty in successful submarine patrols’ with the original recommendation from Miers stating ‘For his good service during 4 war patrols as a Stoker 1st Class in H.M.S Torbay; for the efficiency with which he worked the periscope during 6 successful torpedo attacks; for the enthusiasm he has at all times shown in the performance of his duties and in particular for his skill and resource on the night of 7th June when boarding the tanker Alberta’. Aubrey Spencer Webb was born in Sudbrook Chepstow, Devon on 6th November 1907 and joined the Royal Navy on 3rd February 1927 as a Stoker 2nd class eventually transferring to the Submarine service in May 1930. Joining the Royal Fleet Reserve on 3 Feb 1939 (Po B 20127) he was back to HMS Dolphin at the end of July 1939 eventually joining H.M.S. Torbay in January 1941. HMS Torbay was commissioned in 1940 and joined the 1st Submarine Flotilla in Alexandria in April 1941 and it was her war patrols between May and July that resulted in the award of the DSM to Webb. Peter Padfield, in his book, War Beneath the Sea describes the attack on the tanker Alberta: “On 6 June, after observing much neutral traffic which they were not allowed to touch, since the ‘sink at sight’ zone did not extend to the Aegean, they identified a Vichy French tanker making for the Dardanelles and the Black Sea; Miers ran in to attack. At the last moment the tanker made a radical turn which left him trailing. Ho moved right astern and swung round to fire a single torpedo directly up her wake; it hit, wrecking her propeller and rudder but she still remained afloat and, lacking any power of motion, dropped anchor. Miers hit her with a second torpedo. Still she wouldn’t sink. He waited until after dark, then brought the submarine alongside, bridge Lewis guns at the ready and sent a boarding party (which included Webb) up over the side. She was deserted, but the engine room was flooded and they were unable to open the valves to scuttle her. Instead they parted the anchor cable with a demolition charge so casting her adrift. Two days later she was sighted again, this time under tow. Miers fired a third torpedo but it merely frightened the tug away. Finally, they found her again and put forty shells into her waterline. Even this failed to sink her, but she drifted away and was never salvaged”. Her next patrol was equally successful with her final tally being 1 Italian submarine, the Jacinta, a freighter, another tanker and seven local motor sailing troop and supply transports. It is extremely likely that Webb was present in the patrol where Torbay landed Lieutenant-Colonel Keyes and his raiding party when they landed on the North African coast to attack Rommel’s Head Quarters resulting in the award of the V.C. to Keyes. It seems likely that Webb was serving on board in March 1942 when Miers was awarded his V.C. in the Corfu Roads (his record does still show him serving on Torbay through this period and up to December 1942). Webb was present at the investiture at Buckingham Palace on 28 July 1942 when members of Torbay were decorated for their actions in the Mediterranean; Miers received his V.C., three of his officers received either a D.S.O. or D.S.C. and 24 ratings were rewarded with D.S.M.s (or a bar to a D.S.M). Re-enrolled back in the RFR in February 1944 his service record notes that he enlisted into the Royal Engineers (TA) on 11th April 1949 with the service number 22269844. Also entitled to a Royal Fleet Reserve Long Service and Good Conduct Medal – 26/12/41. Ex Ron Penhall Collection.
