Description
A Longton Hall bell-shaped mug c.1758-60, printed in black with the arms of the Ancient and Honourable Society of Bucks, signed 'Sadler Liverpool', between smaller prints of Justice and Fame, some damages, 12.5cm.
The print is after an engraving by H Copeland, dated 1748 and is attributed to Jeremiah Evans. The same print can be found on Worcester porcelain and also on Liverpool porcelains and creamwares. It is likely that Sadler bought Longton Hall blanks in the last years of the factory.
