The cannon is etched with George III monogramme and crown, and dated 1812. Afflicted with porphyria, this deteriorating
maddening disease continualy disrupted the reign of George III. While still living but without any grip on reality,
personal rule was given to his son George, the Prince Regent, in 1811. The War of 1812 was fought between Great
Britain and America, and was fuelled by a failed attempt by America to occupy Canada.

Royal Doulton Slop Pale
This is a substantial piece of Edwardian pottery for collectors of blue and white. Transfer
printed in the Oyama pattern which features Chinese dragons, this Royal Doulton pale is fitted with a wicker carrying
handle and a dish shaped insert. It would have been a part of an extensive toilet set which would have included
bowl and pitcher, chamber pot, soap dishes, candle sticks and more. This item would have sat on the lower tier
of a wash stand, receiving the waste water from the sink as the plug was removed. It now serves as a very decorative
feature and a splendid conversation piece.
