Item Details
Description
A small engraved nautical rummer, circa 1800
Of attractive small size, the ovoid bowl inscribed 'SUCCESS TO OUR WOODEN WALLS' between formal bands around the rim, on a collar above a short plain stem and circular foot, 13.4cm high
Footnotes:
England projected its might around the world in the 18th century through vast numbers of wooden warships. England's men-of-war also functioned as the country's defence, forming the 'wooden walls' around the island nation. A facet stem goblet with a similar inscription from the Leuba Collection was sold by Bonhams on 13 December 2023, lot 139.
Condition
In good condition save for a tiny scuff and a very short scratch towards the base of the outside of the bowl, of virtually no significance. There is typical light wear underneath the foot as expected where this glass has been standing.
