Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises three stoneware spirit flagons of various glazes and designs. The first is a cream-coloured flagon featuring a green-glazed shoulder and handle. The front is transfer-printed in black with UISGE BAUGH A BLEND OF RARE IRISH WHISKEY SHIPPED AND BOTTLED BY TULLAMORE DISTILLERY DUBLIN PRODUCE OF IRELAND. An impressed green ceramic seal on the shoulder reads 1791 within a diamond motif. The second flagon is of similar cream stoneware with a bright green-glazed neck and handle, transfer-printed in red and black with OLD RARITY DE LUXE SCOTCH WHISKY above a crest and BULLOCH LADE & CO LTD GLASGOW SCOTLAND. The third flagon features a deep cobalt blue glazed shoulder and ball stopper, with a transfer-printed illustration of a pheasant in a landscape on the cream-coloured body. A printed signature reading P. F. ALEXANDER is visible below the pheasant illustration. No other maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the items.


Condition report:

The Tullamore Dew flagon is complete with its original green ceramic stopper and remains sealed with an orange thread (photo 1). The glaze shows fine crazing across the cream body (photo 3). The Old Rarity flagon is missing its stopper and shows minor surface wear to the green glaze at the neck. The pheasant flagon includes a matching blue stopper but exhibits a vertical crack through the cobalt blue glaze on the shoulder near the handle (photo 1). All flagons appear to be empty.
