A rather amazing item currently on Ebay. A ceramic plate produced by John North Crealock for an exhibition in 1877. It is rather good and I believe it is genuine. Located in the US so postage to anywhere else is expensive (and being ceramic slightly dangerous!). But if you are anywhere near Galveston I think it is hard to resist.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] This is a superb example of Col. H. Crealock’s work. The guilding around the wavy edge is worn, but it takes nothing away from the painted subject.Henry Hope Crealock was a professional soldier who served in Crimea, India and China, retiring a Lieutenant General. He only worked for Wedgwood from 1874-77. Ref. Maureen Batkin’s, Wedgwood Ceramics, page 74 to see this plaque.

This has got to be the ultimate piece by Henry Hope. Grace any mantle-shelf! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

"The Vulture and the Snake". Might have been an omen for a couple of gentlemen I can think of.
