Description
A good Pratt ware commemorative jug c.1797, one side moulded with a profile of Captain Duncan, the reverse with Captain Trollope, the former flanked by two dolphins and two ships, the latter beside a figure of Clio (the Muse of History), 14cm.
Cf. John & Griselda Lewis, Pratt Ware, pp.43 and 112 for similar jugs. The importance of these two figures in the Battle of Camperdown means these jugs are often attributed to Scottish manufacturers.
