- Lot Description
Blue Transfer Rum & Water Bowl and Mug, England, c. 1800-1820, an earthenware bowl with pedestal printed in blue underglaze with the River Fishing pattern, the words “Rum & Water” painted on the interior, unmarked, dia. 6; and an earthenware barrel shaped mug printed in blue underglaze with the Chinese Figures and Laughing Dog pattern, unmarked, ht. 4 7/8 in.
Provenance: The Zeller Collection.
N.B. Rum and water were the basic ingredients of an alcoholic drink known as Grog. British Vice Admiral Vernon introduced this rum and water drink to the naval squadron he commanded in the West Indies on 21 August 1740. Vernon wore a coat of grogram cloth and was nicknamed Old Grogram or Old Grog. The Merriam–Webster Collegiate Dictionary, which agrees with this story of the word’s origin, states that the word grog was first used in this sense in 1770, though other sources cite 1749.Condition
Condition: Bowl: Professionally restored in 2020. There was a chip on the white of the foot, some small nicks around the rim and a crack that ran from the rim diagonally across the bowl. This went through the ‘M and U’ in the word “Rum”.
Mug: Very good condition with no evidence of cracks, chips, or restorations.
