Description
An armorial ship's decanter and stopper early 19th century, engraved with roses, thistles and crowned spoiled anchors around the crest and arms of Tweedy above the motto 'Thole and Think On', 25cm. (2)
The decanter is believed to have been made for James Tweedy of Stinfold, near Horsham, who clearly clung to his Scottish roots despite his Southern English location.
