Provenance
Bonhams sale, 6 June 2007, lot 427
Twinight Collection

The source of the image is an engraving by William Bernard Cooke, published by Samuel Owens, The Thames, 1809-11. The Mast House was built by John Perry in around 1790 and was designed for the erection and removal of masts from ships whilst in dock. The masts were lifted by means of the crane attached to the top of the building and were then lowered into the hull of the ship. The scene painted on this vase shows a ship at the base of the building, waiting to receive its mast.
