Description
A large creamware jug, circa 1800
Printed in black and hand-coloured in red, yellow and green with a fine portrait of Sir John Jervis, 'Earl St Vincent, K.B. Admiral of the Blue' surrounded by trophies and ribbons listing his victories, the reverse with 'Jack Spritsail coming on shore', both prints signed 'Mollart Sculp', while the portrait of St. Vincent is additionally signed 'Morris Print', a smaller print of 'Come box the compass' under the spout, 24.4cm high
Footnotes:
To 'box the compass' was a crucial seafaring skill, listing the 32 compass points in order. Sailors may have recited this as a form of drinking game or challenge, which makes the print suitable decoration for beer jugs and mugs.
