Cheetham and Woolley Mug
 |
A Cheetham and
Woolley stoneware mug with applied plaques of McBeth, Lady McBeth and
the Birth of Aphrodite. Ht: 6" c.1794 This is part of a quartet, the others being Britannia and France (murdered). The full group most probably is a reference to the execution of Louis in Jan. and of Antoinette in Oct. 1793, so providing a "not before" date. (My thanks to Mr C. Wyman for this information). |
