A Pratt ware commemorative jug c.1798

A Pratt ware commemorative jug c.1798, crisply moulded and coloured to one side with a titled profile portrait of Admiral Nelson flanked by two ships, the reverse with a similar portrait of Captain Berry, restoration to the spout, 19.2cm.

Provenance: Bonhams, 8th September 2004, lot 80. The John Heap Collection.

Captain Edward Berry was Nelson's flag captain on HMS Vanguard at the Battle of the Nile, and it is likely that these jugs were made to commemorate that battle.
