Lot Essay

See the pair illustrated in John and Griselda Lewis, Pratt Ware (Woodbridge 1984), p. 132, in which the design is attributed to a pair of Wedgwood jasper ware portrait medallions modelled by William Hackwood in 1778, after a pair of terracotta examples modelled in 1774 by Jean Baptiste Nini.
