A very rare Caughley dessert tureen, cover and stand painted with the Flowery Cartouche pattern, circa 1785-92, unmarked, tureen 14.5cm wide, stand 23.2cm wideProvenance: Wright Collection no. 406 purchased from Charnwood. Literature: See Ironbridge 1999 nos. 380 or 381 and The Caughley Society, Caughley Blue and White Patterns, p.157 where the stand is illustrated. Furthermore Geoffrey Godden wrote an article in the ECC journal on a pair of these tureens, of which this is one. Godden goes on to say, 'Two tureens with their stands are the only pieces known with this pattern, their attribution as Caughley being based on their shape. This suggests that there may have been a dessert service dating from the latter part of the 1780s, which, if the tureens are anything to go by, would have been of excellent quality'.
A rare blue and white 'John Hill' election jug c.1796, Caughley or early John Rose Coalport, each side inscribed 'Honour and Honesty. John Hill for Ever. Prosperity to the House of Hawkstone', beneath the spout with the legend 'Majority of 44 in the Year 1796', 22cm high (small chip to the tip of the spout)This was a closely fought election campaign between William and his brother John Hill and was dubbed a 'family contest ... sprung from a pique' and the brothers attempted to buy votes with ale, food and more. The controversial Shrewsbury election of 1796 did not in fact result in a victory for John Hill, as the inscription on this jug suggests. John Hill's claimed "Majority of 44" was reached by adding spoilt ballot papers to his valid votes, and amounted only to a majority over his younger kinsman, William Hill, rather than to the overall victor, William Pulteney. The confusion regarding attribution of the jug itself lies in the closeness of the two factories and the fact that several moulds exist. It is possible that both factories produced these Election jugs, although it has sometimes been quoted as the earliest known dated Coalport porcelain.Ex Wright Collection.
