Pale creamcoloured earthenware covered with a clear lead-glaze and transfer-printed overglaze in red, using the glue bat method. The wheel-thrown bulbous jug has a loop handle and a sparrow’s beak lip. It is printed on one side with an image bearing the title ‘THE APOTHEOSIS OF BONAPARTE’. This image represents John Bull, kneeling and saying ‘AMEN’ opposite a gibbet which Napoleon hangs. Napoleon has a large sword and hat and is labelled ‘TYRANT’. Against the gibbet leans a ladder with inscriptions on the rungs: (top to bottom) ‘Revenge’; ‘Madrid Massacre’; ‘Hanover Pillaged’; ‘Holland Ruined’; ‘Switzerland enslaved’; 'Jaffa Soup 300 Sick’; ‘El Arish 5000 Turks’; ‘Alexandria Massacre’; ‘In gratitude to Barras’. Beneath the gibbet is a crowd of figures with inscriptions describing their cries: (left to right) ‘Ah Mynheer der Gran Bonaparte haf make oon big Mistook about being God in dis Earth’; ‘Enemy ov la Suisse ov Tell A boys Reding & la libbertay’; ‘Oh boderation long life to Ireland I tought we would catch the tief he wanted to palaver me’; ‘Dat be ton plagues of Yarmany gone in a Kick Vid a great big Sword dat I wich dey giv me for I want it by by’; 'Ala lantern Ala lantern Vive la France A bas le Corsican et tous meurtrier et scelerets Vive Johnny Bull’. Printed on the other side of the jug is an image entitled ‘A SPANISH PATRIOT’, which represents a British sailor handing a scroll labelled ‘COMMERCE’ to a Spanish soldier with a ribbon inscribed ‘LONG LIVE FERDINAND VII’.

Transfer printing was introduced to English pottery in the second half of the 18th century. Until recently, it was believed that transfer printed wares of the 18th and early 19th centuries were made using tissue paper to transfer the image onto the object from an engraved copper plate. Ceramic printing ink would be applied to the copper plate so that the engraved lines were filled; the plate would then be passed through a printing press to transfer the image to a sheet of tissue paper and the printed tissue paper placed on the ceramic and rubbed to transfer the design. However, Paul Holdway has demonstrated that most early transfer-printed ware uses another technique, one which involved the use of glue bats. This technique also relied on a copper plate but it was linseed oil, rather than ink, that was applied. The bat, a thin sheet of animal glue, would be pressed onto the oiled plate and then applied to the ware. Once the bat was removed, the ware was dusted with powdered metallic oxide, which adhered to the oil, and fired to fix the design. For round-bodied vessels like this jug, this technique had a distinct advantage over the tissue paper method: whereas tissue paper wrinkles when it is applied to a curved object, a flexible glue bat stretches round the shape. There is evidence that this jug was decorated using the glue bat technique: there are a number of small bubble-like interruptions to the design. Such flaws are a hallmark of glue bat printed wares, occurring where pockets of air or grains of dirt are trapped between the bat and the object. reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-107139 adlib-term-107139 9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32 literal England England country England cream coloured reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Height cm 14.5 Width cm 15.6 reference media-46517 adlib-media-46517 afeb0798-f73d-3dff-a73b-f66d0135e5c7 jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583475315 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_736_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583475315 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583475315 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_736_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583475315 1 image 0 media image reference media-46518 adlib-media-46518 9940e6ac-ac6c-3f2f-ace8-c0111b06f04a jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583501419 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_736_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583501419 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583501419 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_736_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583501419 1 image 1 media image reference media-46519 adlib-media-46519 540226b4-7dc5-3d41-aca6-e2dcc4375fc7 jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583500190 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_736_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583500190 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583500190 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_736_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583500190 1 image 2 media image reference media-46520 adlib-media-46520 48823669-9710-37ea-9c6a-e3a9a12f518d jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583533008 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_736_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583533008 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583533008 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_736_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583533008 1 image 3 media image reference media-46521 adlib-media-46521 1c1801e4-0505-30c4-9106-9d599b3331a1 jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583482736 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_736_1928_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583482736 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_736_1928_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583482736 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_736_1928_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583482736 1 image 4 media image reference term-89400 adlib-term-89400 194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa jug history note provenance unidentified before Mary Casey, 29B Lincolns Inn Fields; Mary Casey sold for £2.5 on 18 May 1910 to Dr J.W.L.
