Ovoid body tapering slightly to a projecting foot, with a concave cylindrical neck, curved lip and curving, angular handle. Three text and image transfer-prints, over-painted with enamels, under the lip and on each side of the body. A thin band of silver lustre runs around the rim of the jug, another where the neck meets the body and a thinner band around the middle of the neck. The glaze has a slightly bluish ‘pearlware’ tinge. The underside is flat and glazed, with a raised foot-rim. The images and text are as follows: (i)on one side: ‘JOHN BULL and his COMPANION Challenging BONAPARTE and his relation’ below and image of the Devil behind Napoleon facing John Bull, who stands beside a lion, a ship in the background. Long inscriptions issue from their mouths. John Bull: ‘‘Come on you Murdering Corsican [Tyrant]. This sprig of Oak will soon be your business and my Companion shall fight your Father there behind you’. Napoleon:: ‘O vat a Terible Jean Bull me be half afraid. Much rather / make Peace now I have obtained the… To Reign is worth Ambition the in Hell’. The Devil: ‘Fight him Dam him, Fight him Bony you’ll soon come home and you Know how impatiently we all wait for you’ (ii)On the other side: ‘One of the 71st taking a French officer prisoner in Portugal’, above an image of a French officer wearing a cocked hat giving up his purse and watch to a Scottish soldier, who wears a kilt and carries a rifle with fixed bayonet. (iii)Under the lip: Four figures supping ale and smoking pipes whiles a fifth plays a recorder, outside an inn inscribed ‘JOLY BOAT MAN’. In the smoke of one of the pipes is written: ‘Success to trade’.

He had not seen the design before and was interested by the reference to the 71st regiment. Napoleon first appears on English pottery around 1802. The shape of this jug and its images suggest it was made c. 1812-14, at the time of the Peninsular War when Arthur Wellesley, first Duke of Wellington, commanded the British troops against Napoleon and the French. The 71st Highland Light Infantry fought throughout the war, which took place in Spain and Portugal from 1809 until 1814. The image of John Bull and Napoleon driven by the Devil, however, is earlier and draws on caricatures published by S W Fores in September 1803, as England faced the threat of war. The ‘One of the 71st’ image is found paired with the ‘John Bull’ image (but on a differently shaped jug) from c.1809-10, and on a jug of this shape, but with an image commemorating Wellington c.1812-13. The lustre decoration and shape of the jug is similar to another transfer-printed jug of this period, in the collection (C.774-1928), which was made in Staffordshire. Staffordshire was the first, and remained the largest, producer of lustreware, though it was also made in other regions, notably Sunderland. Silver lustre is generally made from platinum, as real silver suffers from tarnishing. Transfer printing was introduced to English pottery in the second half of the 18th century. Most early transfer-printed ware used the glue bat method. In this method, the design was engraved on a copper plate, which was then covered with linseed oil. The thin bat of animal glue was 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. This method was common for round-bodied vessels because the flexible glue bat can easily stretch round curving body. 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-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Staffordshire platinum reference term-107831 adlib-term-107831 6da005f1-0bd3-3597-bf45-b3dc0027c837 lustre white reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-107563 adlib-term-107563 38dcd825-1de1-3222-82c6-15a95729b5ff enamels reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-108168 adlib-term-108168 0fcc3e04-2ff3-3bde-810f-0474bbfa0943 ceramic printing colour Height cm 17.8 Width cm 20.4 reference term-89400 adlib-term-89400 194f8c99-93e1-30de-9465-9209222dafaa jug reference term-134016 adlib-term-134016 f945b0b5-23ea-3561-809b-a24844a0006e commemorative jug history note Mr Hawkins, a retired shoemaker; his sale at Grantham, 1907; bought for £3.12.6 by Mr Roe, Cambridge, from whom purchased for £5 on 31 May 1907 by Dr J.W.L.
