Bachelor or Supper Sets Attributed to Dawson's Low Ford Pottery
Unusually, this so-called 'bachelor set' was made as a gift for a woman. Presumably Miss Simpson enjoyed a pipe or two.
Dimensions as follows: base, 22cm diameter, tobacco jar, 15cm diameter, top, 12cm diameter, and height 32cm.
Below, a tobacco damper with the same transfer on the lid as the one above.
A sepia tone version dedicated to Timothy Mew, Sunderland, 1845.
Below a tobacco damper from a similar sepia-toned tobacco jar. The rest presumably lost. The lid shows Napoleon addressing his troops.
