These prints by Thomas Rothwell must have been in use at the factory for some time. The two-masted ship appears on a jug dated 1815 sold in these rooms on 2 November 2015, lot 184. The single-masted ship is seen on another jug, lot 183 in the same sale and dated 1803 but also appears on a jug in the National Maritime Museum inscribed 'THE FLOWER' and 'JAMES PATEY SALCOMBE BORN 1792' which seems likely to have been made to celebrate a 21st birthday.
