Description
Admiral Lord Rodney: Two earthenware mugs, late 18th century
The creamware example painted with a bold portrait of the admiral below the inscription 'Success to brave Rodney' 9.2cm high, a larger pearlware mug with an unusual applied portrait in a cartouche, the ribbon impressed 'SUCCESS TO G B RODNEY', colourful flower sprays painted to either side of the handle and below a red border, 12.5cm high (2)
Footnotes:
David Drakard illustrates a similar but larger creamware mug, see Printed English Pottery (1992), pl.422. The portrait is in fact painted, although the decorator clearly found it difficult to fit the inscriptions around the portraits. A similar pearlware mug is in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, inv. no. AAA4373.
