George Kinloch Esq MP – 1775–1873



​To the right, an engraving of George Kinloch by William Sharp, printed by Charles Joseph Hullmandel, after Miss M. Saunders, lithograph, 1832 or after.

George Kinloch, known as the 'radical laird', chaired a meeting in protest of the Peterloo massacre in 1819.  Two weeks later, he was arrested for sedition.  The likely sanction would have been deportation to Australia, so while on bail, Kinloch fled the UK, living in exile in France from 1820–1821.  In 1823 he secretly returned to Scotland and was pardoned.  He was elected MP for the new constituency of Dundee in 1832, but died a year later from a chill.

Attributed to Turpin & Co, Ouseburn Pottery or Bensham Pottery – George Kinloch, long 's'

Read more about this attribution here. The first plaque has an impressed letter 'B', perhaps to indicate the Bensham Pottery in Gateshead.  Read more here. The items in this section are easily distinguishable from those below because they have an old-fashioned long 's' (that looks like an 'f') in the word 'necessity'.
There's a scratch running through the '9' in '1819' that shows this mug comes from the same transfer plate as the plaques above.  This is of great interest because, more usually, these floral 'REFORM' mugs are associated with Chesworth & Robinson / Chetham & Robinson in Staffordshire, and marked 'C&R'.

Attributed to Turpin & Co, Ouseburn Pottery or Bensham Pottery – George Kinloch, short 's'

In this version, there is a short 's' in the word necessity.  Note also that the portrait is cropped so that only one coat button appears above the text.
​However, a caveat regarding the Turpin attribution.  George Haggarty ​ (Haggarty, G R 2023 ‘The Alastair Leslie collection of Mugs and Jugs’, Volume Two. UP Publications. St Georges St. Huntington Cambridgeshire) has recorded jugs with this version of the transfer with Scottish inscriptions for 'Alexander Malcolm & Margaret Dickie' married in Dundee 12 February 1829, and another for ‘James McEwan & Elizabeth Forbes’.  He suggests a tentative Portobello attribution on the basis of the Scottish inscriptions.   Of course, the Newcastle potteries also had trade networks and distributers along the East coast of Scotland, and it seems likely that this transfer would have commissioned with that market in mind.

Tentatively attributed to Thomas Fell, St Peter's Pottery, Newcastle

The tea bowl and saucer below has a third version of the transfer with a short 's' in necessity, but a longer portrait, showing 4 buttons.
PicturePhoto Shapes Auctioneers & Valuers

The saucer to the right gives a tantalising hint to the origin of the transfer, which has the longer portrait with 4 buttons and short 's'.  The auction catalogue lists it as having an 'incised anchor mark to the base'.  Thomas Fell is known to have used an impressed anchor mark.

​It would be significant if we could nail this attribution down to Fell, as unmarked jugs like the one below are generally assumed to have come from Staffordshire.
