At the time of this grant, the grantee was styled as being ‘of (the City of) London and Clerkenwell in the County of Middlesex’. Sadly, most printed sources do not blazon their crest, but once again there is the presumption that they bore ‘a bull’s head erased’ as their crest.

Lot 481

A George III 18th century silver drum teapot, mark of Walter Brind, London 1773, circular in cross-section, the side engraved with the arms of HARDCASTLE, bright cut foliate border to the rim, part marked lift off cover similarly decorated and topped with a wooden finial, wooden handle and straight spout, 10cm diameter at the base, 8.5cm high, 12.6oztDuring the 18th century, tea was a popular drink in Britain, but its price was out of reach to most people. The government classed tea as a 'Tropical Luxury', which allowed them to levy high duties on it. Tea tax in the mid 1700s was over 100%, and it was not until 1784 when tea was reclassed as a ‘necessity’ that the tax was reduced to 12.5% and tea drinking became popular again.During the time of heavy taxation (and despite large quantities of tea being smuggled into Britain) teapots generally became smaller, and silver varieties were less common. The small drum style - this example - was only fashionable for a short period of time between around 1760-1780, when the oval shapes gained popularity. The oval styles were larger, too, reflecting the new lower price of tea. The 18th century silver drum teapot is now quite a rare and sought after item.This teapot was probably the property of Joseph Hardcastle (1752 - 1819), of Hatcham House, Deptford, Surrey. Joseph married Anne Corsbie at the Parish Church of St Mary, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk on the 17th February 1778. Although Joseph joined in business with his uncle, Nathaniel Hardcastle, as a Russian Merchant in the City of London in 1765, he was one of the founders of the Missionary Society, which later became known as the London Missionary Society, and was their first treasurer.Overall in fair to good condition with no obvious sign of repair.

Underside a little dished. Some spotting to the side. Locating rim to the cover misshaped, dented and bruised, but the cover is still a good fit. Some loss and damage to the finial.

Evidence of a minor report with porosity to the edge of the rim of the cover (see image 5). Hallmarks and crest clear and readable.

George was the eldest son of George Pitt, of Stratfield Saye, and his wife, Mary Louise Bernier. He was educated at Winchester College and at Magdalen College, Oxford. Between 1740 and 1742, like many young men of his class, George went on the Grand Tour of Europe and on his return, he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Shaftesbury - a seat he held until 1747. George later became the Member of Parliament for Dorset in 1754. He was created Baron Rivers, of Stratfield Saye, Southampton on the 20th May 1776. He was further created Baron Rivers, of Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire on the 16th March 1802.

Lot 492

A George III 18th century silver hot water urn and cover, mark of Daniel Smith & Robert Sharp, London, 1770, of traditional pear shaped form with gadrooned waist and two fixed reeded shell mask hook handles, fluted spigot terminating in a lion mask and with fluted ivory tap, engraved to the front with the arms of MONOUX impaling RIDDELL, and to the back with the arms of at present an unidentified family impaling FRANCKLIN quartering MONOUX, unmarked friction fitting domed cover with gadrooned rim and foliate decoration terminating in an acorn finial, lower rim with bayonet fitting to the base with locating flange, capstan upper with gadrooned rims, engraved with matching MONOUX/RIDDELL arms as above, on a square base, each side with an applied rosette, 13.5 x 13.5cm at the base, 46cm high, 111.7ozt grossProvenance: From the estate of the late Barry Lock (1934-2021)The arms to the front of the urn and on the plinth, given the date of hallmarking, commemorate the marriage of Sir Philip Monoux, (circa 1739 - 1805), the 5th Baronet of Wootton, Bedfordshire and Elizabeth Riddell (circa 1739 - 1814). Philip and Elizabeth were married on 22nd June 1762. He was the only son of Humphrey Monoux and his wife, Mary Savage, whilst Elizabeth was the daughter of Ambrose Riddell, of Eversholt, Bedfordshire. Philip’s great grandfather was Humphrey Monoux, of Wootton and was created as a Baronet, styled ‘of Wootton’ on 4th December 1660. Philip succeeded his cousin, Sir Humphrey Monoux, the 4th Baronet of Wootton on 3rd December 1757. Philip was admitted as a Member of Gray’s Inn on 18th July 1754. He also served as a Major in the Bedfordshire Militia and served as the High Sheriff of Bedfordshire for the year 1763 – 64The arms to the back of the urn commemorate a marriage of an unnamed gentleman to a daughter of the Francklin family. Given the evidence of the earlier Monoux arms, it appears that this urn came down through the family to an unnamed granddaughter of Sir Philip Monoux, the 5th Baronet of Wootton and his wife, Elizabeth. This granddaughter would have been probably the child of Judith Riddell Monoux (baptised 1st April 1774 died 9th May 1813), the daughter of Sir Philip and Elizabeth. We know that Judith married a gentleman by the name of Richard Francklin (died 1843) at the Parish Church of St. Swithun on the 26th February 1807. Sadly, due to the lack of genealogical information, it has not be possible to identify with any certainty Richard and Judith’s daughter or the identity of her husband.This item is offered for sale in accordance with the Ivory Act 2018 and has been assigned an exemption certificate Ref No: YK8VT7S9Overall in good condition with no obvious sign of damage or repair.

Robert and Margaret were married at St Mary’s Church, Madras, India on 18th February 1753. Robert was the eldest son of Richard Clive, of Styche Hall, near Market Drayton, Shropshire and his wife, Rebecca Gaskell, whilst Margaret was the only daughter of Edmund Maskelyne, of Purton, Wiltshire and his wife, Elizabeth Booth. After the marriage they returned to England, and Clive was elected briefly as a Member of Parliament, but was unseated on petition by the defeated candidates. He returned to India in July 1755, working for the East India Company, and established the Company’s rule in Bengal after victory at the Battle of Plassey in 1757. He became the first British Governor of the Presidency of Fort George (otherwise known as the Bengal Presidency) in 1757, a post he held until 1760. During this time, he amassed a great fortune of £180,000 (around £25,700,000 today). On his return to England, he obtained an Irish peerage as Baron Clive of Plassey, County Clare. He was elected as the Member of Parliament for Shrewsbury in 1761, a seat he held until his death, and was also elected as the Mayor of Shrewsbury for the year 1762 – 63. He was appointed a Knight of the Bath (KB) in 1764.In 1765, Clive was asked by the East India Company to return to India to rectify the maladministration of the Company’s affairs there since his absence. He developed a strong administration led by civil servants that reduced corruption, and also set about a reorganisation of the army. At that time, the Bengal Army was a private army of the Bengal Presidency owned by the East India Company and as a result, Robert Clive became the Commander-in-Chief of all British forces in India, earning the nickname 'Clive of India'.He retired and left India in 1769, briefly settling in the South of France, before acquiring his country house and estate, Claremont, near Esher, Surrey. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and served as the Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire (1772 –74) and Montgomeryshire (1773 -74).

He was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery in 1787 and transferred to the Royal Engineers in 1789. He consulted on many engineering issues, including civil infrastructure and coastal defences. On 24 June 1809, he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and accompanied the notorious expedition to Walcheren - part of the War of the Fifth Coalition. The Walcheren campaign involved the siege and capture of the fortress town of Flushing (modern-day - Vlissingen, Netherlands). Pilkington was praised for his command over a mixed force including craftsmen, sailors and civilians, and this goblet appears to be a gift from him to one of these exceptional civilian workmen.

Manchester was governed by manorial courts until the mid-19th century and regained its borough status in 1838. Four years after becoming a borough once again, the authority was granted arms and crest by the Kings of Arms at The College of Arms in the City of London. Prior to this, the town/borough unofficially made use of the arms of the De Grelley family, the ancient Lords of Manchester. William Scholes Withington (circa 1790 - 1838) was elected as one of the Constables of Manchester in 1816. He was further elected as the Borough Reeve, the chief officer of the town (equivalent to the mayor) in October 1817 - an office that he held for a year.At this time, reform groups were being founded around the country, advocating, amongst other things, the vote for all men. Protests started around the country and a meeting at St Peter’s Field in Manchester was one of many such events. The government started taking steps to quell these gatherings and movements by renewing wartime laws around seditious speech. The Manchester radicals met in St Peter’s Field to try and draw attention to the flaws in the law, but many were arrested and placed in prison.Reformers planned another mass meeting in Manchester in 1819, again at St Peter’s Field. It was to be the starting point of a peaceful protest march from Manchester to London. The magistrates, however, decided to disperse the participants and they instructed Thomas Withington, one of the mounted civic fathers, to take the Chairman of the local magistrates’ request to the Commander of the Manchester and Salford Yeomanry to remain at the ready. Reportedly, this included preparing themselves by drinking in the local taverns.The march was reported to be 60,000 strong, including many women and children. The magistrates instructed the Yeomanry to arrest the key speakers as soon as the event started. However, before the Yeomanry could take action, it was a requirement that the Riot Act should be read out to the crowd. Part of this Act made it illegal for twelve or more people to assemble and disturb the public peace unlawfully. Failure to disperse, at the request of local authorities, would be seen as a felony. By repute, on this occasion, the Riot Act was read out to the crowd by Thomas Withington. Following the reading, which was ignored by the crowd, the untrained and now intoxicated Yeomanry seized the leaders and, wielding weapons, made a general attack on the main crowd. Over 600 were injured, many of them women and children, and 15 people died. Henry Hunt and the other leaders were arrested and convicted.This cup appears to have been presented to Withington for his service to the Manor and Town of Manchester following his involvement in what is now known as the infamous ‘Peterloo Massacre’.Overall in good condition with no obvious sign of repair. Some minor surface scratches as to be expected and commensurate with age. Hallmarks a little rubbed but still readable, and the engraving is clear and crisp, Part marks to the cover rather rubbed. Some minor staining, but no obvious losses to the gilding. Interior in good condition with again just some minor surface scratches. Sits well on a flat surface with no wobble.
