Parian ware ewer, moulded overall in high relief. On the body are four scenes from the life and death of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) - the Nile, St Vincent, Copenhagen and Trafalgar as on Nelson's column. The stem is formed as four dolphins with tails raised and the handle as a bearded and crowned triton with two twined tails. The lip is in the form of a shell and a figure of Victory emerges from the lower lip and goes down the body. The base is attached with a brass nut. Under the base is printed 'ALFRED CROWQUILL FECIT', 'SAMUEL ALCOCK & CO MARCH 15 1851'.
