This type of white porcelain with distinctive flower swag decoration has been associated with a group of Meissen given to Queen Sophie Dorothea of Prussia in 1735, and to Maria Josepha, Electress of Saxony and Queen of Poland in 1738. J.J. Kändler's work records for 1735, 1738 and 1739 record pieces with ribbon tied flower decoration (see S. Wittwer, 'Liasons Fragile: Exchanges of Gifts between Saxony and Prussia in the Early Eighteenth Century', Fragile Diplomacy, 2007, p.101). Known pieces with this type of applied flower decoration are also distinguished by areas of gold ground, as seen on the interior of this bottle, gilt bands to the rims and in some cases purple camaieu landscape scenes. It is not known if this type of decoration was used exclusively for the royal gifts or whether further small services or pieces in this style were produced around the same time.
An ecuelle and cover with comparable decoration was sold Bonhams London, 2 July 2019, lot 43 and a bowl and cover sold Christie's New York, 20 May 2008, lot 99.

Valentin de Boulogne (1594-1632) painted his 'Cardsharps' (Falschspieler) in circa 1614-15, obviously familiar with Caravaggio's treatment of the subject executed about twenty years earlier. Acquired in the mid 18th century by Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, displayed in the Royal Galleries of Dresden and still on display in the city at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (No.Gal.-Nr. 408), in the past the painting was indeed commonly misattributed to Caravaggio.
Albert Scherf (1876–1953) together with his brother Louis, another porcelain painter, were trained by Albert Schünze at the Lichte technical school of drawing, painting, modelling and ceramics, which had been established in the Lichtetal of Thuringia in 1862 under the auspices of the Prince of Sachsen-Meiningen. He is known particularly for his skill with chiaroscuro, a talent palpably displayed on this plaque.

The French sculptor Denys Puech, of humble Aveyronnais farming origins, trained in the Paris workshops of François Jouffroy, Alexandre Falguière and Henri Chapu, at the same time following an evening course at the Beaux-Arts. Winning the Prix de Rome in 1884, in the following years he received several official commissions from the Third Republic. He founded a museum of fine art in Rodez, Aveyron, in 1903 (now the Musée Denys-Puech), inaugurated in 1910, designed by him in conjunction with the architect Boyer.

The sculptor's personal connection to this powerful figure is unusually close. Born the son of a Musselburgh blacksmith, he trained at the Edinburgh College of Art, was apprenticed as a stonemason working in the yard of one of the prominent monumental sculptors of the period, Birnie Rhind and upon winning the Queen's Prize spent two years at the South Kensington College in London. By 1914 Carrick was regularly exhibiting at the Royal Scottish Academy and had established a reputation for his work on monuments. In 1916, however, he was conscripted, serving for the duration of World War I as Gunner A. Carrick 95309, 30th (Seige) Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery, operating and maintaining the unit’s eight-inch howitzers, his unit deployed for much of the time in support of the Ypres Salient. Whilst on active service he apparently modelled ‘The Gunner’ in Belgian clay. With the assistance of his friend the Poperinge artist Leopold Beun (1881-1949), a maquette of the figure was sent home for bronze casting. A resultant bronze was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1918 (The Gunner, No.28), whilst Carrick was still seving in Belgium, and subsequently in Glasgow and Aberdeen, as well as in London at the Royal Academy in 1922 (No.1417). Alexander Carrick RSA was one of his homeland’s leading monumental sculptors of the early 20th century, executing a number of war memorials postwar and becoming head of sculpture at the Edinburgh College of Art.

Teucer was apparently the Greeks’ best archer at Troy, but failed to kill Hector eight times. Since the subject was relatively obscure, the full-size plaster model exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1881 was accompanied by an explanatory extract from Pope’s Illiad: Since, rallying, from our wall we forced the foe, / Still aimed at Hector have I bent my bow; / Eight forky arrows from this hand have fled, / And eight bold heroes by their points lie dead: / But sure some god denies me to destroy / This fury of field, this dog of Troy. [VIII, 359–64]
Elfrida Manning, Thornycroft's daughter, commented in her book on her father: 'The care and attention he lavished on each individual casting of those works available in limited editions, such as Teucer or The Mower, not only demonstrates his professional artistic commitment, making each piece a unique work of art, but also reflects... a desire to bring art into the home.'(E. Manning, 'Marble & Bronze: The Art and Life of Hamo Thornycroft', London, 1982, p.14).

Gaudez', 58cm high
The plaster model of 'Louison' was shown at the Paris Salon of 1889 and acquired by the French State in 1893, now to be seen at the Musée de la Révolution française, Domaine de Vizille near Grenoble. Louise Chabry is credited with leading by drum the women's famine march on Versailles.

The arms are those of Sir John Nelthorpe, 6th Bart.
Provenance: Sir John Nelthorpe Bt. (1744-1799); thence by family descent until the sale by the executors of Lt.-Col. Roger Sutton-Nelthorpe (1918-2000) of selected contents from Scawby Hall, Lincolnshire, at Sotheby's, London, 11 April 2002, lot 200, where acquired by the vendor.
The young Sir John Nelthorpe visited London with his sister Charlotte in August and September 1754, as recorded in a journal he kept of the visit (Nelthorpe Family Papers, Lincolnshire Archives, www.scawbyhall.com/history, accessed 13.05.25), so this cup may well have been commissioned during this trip. The Charlotte Nelthorpe inscribed to the underside could be for his sister, but is perhaps more likely to be for the heiress Charlotte Nelthorpe (1817-1872, Sir John's great-niece) who had married the Rev. Robert Sutton in 1847 and through whom the estate came into the hands of the Sutton family, later named Sutton-Nelthorpe.

The Wathen Family comes from the Frome River (Stroudwater) Valley in the Cotswolds.
The present portrait of a young lady is likely to be one of the daughters of Joseph Wathen (c.1723-1786). Joseph married his first wife Elizabeth Ellis (1730-1758) on May 10, 1756 in Stroud. Elizabeth came from a family of Gloucestershire clothiers. Joseph and Elizabeth do not appear to have had any children, as she died after a short marriage in 1758. Joseph then married his second wife Anne Iles (1739-1803) in 1760. Ann is almost certainly a niece of John Iles, who owned the Iles mill in Chalford, a few miles upstream on the Frome River from the Thrupp mill that Joseph Wathen owned.Joseph Wathen became one of the most successful clothiers in Gloucestershire, and his success allowed him to either purchase or build a mansion known as New House, which was located a short distance from his mill at Far Thrupp on the south side of the village of Thrupp. Joseph and second wife Ann had several children, including three daughters who survived: Elizabeth Wathen (b. c.1771), Ann Wathen (b. c.1774) and Maria Wathen (b. c.1777), all baptized in Stroud parish church.

The present portrait closely relates to the oil on canvas portrait in the National Army Museum, circa 1816.
David Ochterlony (1758-1825) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of a Scottish gentleman who had settled in America. He joined the Bengal Army in 1777 as an ensign in the 24th Native Infantry. During the 2nd Mysore War (1780-1784), he was wounded and taken prisoner by the forces of Haidar Ali. He was rapidly promoted over the next 20 years and was in command of the regiment during the 2nd Maratha War (1803-1805). In 1814 he was appointed major-general commanding the 1st Division during the Gurkha War of 1814-1816. In recognition of his services during this campaign, he was created a baronet and appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in 1815. The following year, he was created a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath (GCB), becoming the first East India Company officer to receive that honour. In 1818 Ochterlony was appointed Resident at Rajputana and then at Delhi. By 1822, he was Resident of both Malwa and Rajputana, responsible for the whole of Central India. A column was erected to his memory in Calcutta in 1828 which is now known as the Shahid Minar (the Martyr's Memorial).
