DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Buff earthenware, thrown, tin-glazed and painted in blue and dark brownish-orange. Circular, with deep curved sides, standing on a high footring. In the middle there is a circular medallion with a scrolled border enclosing a drinking scene showing three men seated at a table on which is a punch bowl. The man in the centre holds up a goblet. The other two are smoking church-warden pipes, and the one on the right is stirring the punchbowl.  Behind the table there is a window, flanked by two tricorne hats hanging on the wall. Below the rim there is a border of ships, a whale and an island on a narrow strip of sea. The exterior is decorated on one side with the Tower of London with the name EDWARD LESTER above. On the other side there is a squad of six men carrying muskets over their shoulders, perhaps militia, commanded by an officer, and a large trophy of arms comprising a canon, flags, pikes, and a drum. On either side there is a standing soldier wearing a tall mitre cap of a Fusilier or Grenadier demonstrating two drill positions associated with fixing bayonets. The rim is painted dark brownish-orange. The underside is dated '1734'.
