A Worcester small cylindrical mug dated 1757

A Worcester small cylindrical mug dated 1757, printed in black with a head and shoulders portrait of the King of Prussia, and a print of Fame blowing a trumpet flanking a vignette of military trophies and flags, signed RH Worcester for Robert Hancock, and with an anchor rebus for Richard Holdship, 8.7cm.

Provenance: the Professor Richard Clarke Collection. Purchased from Stockspring Antiques in 1998.

The centre flag on the military print is the rare version inscribed 'Russians' rather than the more usual 'Welham'.
