Item Details
Description
[POTTERY]. British Anti-Napoleon Cartoon Jug. [England, ca. 1812]. An exceptional political jug. A hilarious horse carries Napoleon and his Army on the run from Russia and anticipates his eventual receipt of “justice” from John Bull (“Anticipation for Boney” showing John Bull about to behead Napoleon); it dates from the time of the invasion of Russia (ca. 1812). Approximately 5 ½ x 6 ½” at the handle. A beautifully polychromed transfer, this cream ware style jug is fine, and a rare specimen. Offered with a Doulton leather-finished jug with a pewter rim (captioned “Remember Me When This You See Though Many Miles We Distant Be”); approximately 6” high (fine).
