Notes
American naval commanders Commodore John Paul Jones (1747-1792) and Commodore Bainbridge (1774-1833) both feature in print form on several Gray’s designs, usually with some lustre decoration, popular with Gray’s North American customers.
The naval theme of these designs fits well within a wide range of nautical subjects which Gray’s Pottery produced throughout the life of the company.
Five examples of the Antique-shaped jug shown here have been recorded for this pattern (four of them located in the USA) but no other shapes.
The two prints on A9287 Constitution and the Java / Commodore Bainbridge are comparable with two others on pattern A9316 Bonhomme Richard and the Serapis / Commodore John Paul Jones, produced for jugs for the Patriotic Products Association (see the Retailers section).
The second image is of a ‘pull’ (a tissue-paper transfer) from an original copper plate produced for Gray’s Pottery by Henry Fennell & Co of Stoke-on-Trent. The date on the jug is 1797, the date that the warship USS Constitution was launched. The significance of the dates on the pull, 1776 and 1926, is unknown.
