Description: | Black basalt, lidded sugar bowl commemorating Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) with a glazed interior and moulded decoration. It is decorated overall with a wandering line pattern. On each side is a shell in relief. On one side the shell bears a design of a monument with an obelisk on a base inscribed 'PRO PATRIA'. This is flanked by Britannia and Fame inscribing 'NELSON Octr 2...' on a shield. The other shell has a ribbon inscribed 'TRAFALGAR' placed across the staff of a British ensign, flying above a gun, shield, laurel branch and inverted foreign flags. The trophies are flanked by a pyramid and crocodile representing the Battle of the Nile and a fortress representing the Battle of Copenhagen. A Greek key pattern runs around the top of the bowl. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | Horatio Nelson Mayer bowls (containers) Elijah & Son | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
