GRAND BASSIN EN VERMEIL ALLEMAND

PAR JOHANNES LENCKER I, AUGSBOURG, 1618-1622

Dans le gout maniériste, ovale à contours, le marli appliqué de quatre têtes d'ange détachables encadrées par des ailes déployées alternant avec de larges coquilles tenues par des festons de fruits, le centre dômé avec une bosse détachable gravée d'armoiries sous une couronne de comte encadrée par une couronne de fleurons, le bol repoussé d'un côté d'une allégorie de la Terre tenant une corne d'abondance et de l'autre une allégorie de l'Eau avec une couronne de laurier et un trident, toutes deux assises sur le bord d'une rivière sur un fond de paysage de village, gravé sur l'envers du plat 'The Fortunate Bason' et sous la bosse détachable d'une autre armoirie sous couronne de baron, poinçons sur le fond: ville et maître-orfèvre

L.: 60,5cm. (23 3⁄4 in.)

2156 gr. (69 oz. 6 dwt.)

Les armoiries sur la bosse détachable sont celles des Rous pour les Earls of Stradbroke, probablement pour John, 1e Earl of Stradbroke (1750-1827), fils de Sir John Rous 5th Bt. Il fut membre du parlement de 1780 à 1796 avant d'être fait Baron Rous of Dennington. En 1821 il acquiert un titre de vicomte et comte en tant que Viscount Dunwich et Earl of Stradbroke. Il fait ses études à Westminster puis à Magdalen College Oxford. Il se marie deux fois, d'abord avec Frances en 1788 qui décède en 1790 et était la fille et héritière d'Edward Warter-Wilson of Bilboa, co. Limerick.

Les armoiries antérieures gravées sous la bosse sont celles des Moore pour John Moore, 1st Baron Moore (d.1725) de Tullamore, County Offaly, Irlande et d’une autre famille, probablement celles non répertoriées de sa première épouse Mary (1681-1722), fille d'Elnathan Lum ou Lunn, un banquier de Dublin, qu'il épouse en 1697. Il se remarie en 1722 avec Elizabeth, fille de John Sankey de Tenelick, co. Longford, Irlande, veuve de Sir John King Bt. (d.1720).



The arms are those of Rous for the Earls of Stradbroke, presumably for John, 1st Earl of Stradbroke (1750-1827), son of Sir John Rous 5th Bt. Before he was elevated to the peerage he was M.P. for Suffolk from 1780 until 1796 when he was elevated as Baron Rous of Dennington. In 1821 he gained a viscountcy and earldom as Viscount Dunwich and Earl of Stradbroke. He was educated at Westminster and Magdalen College, Oxford. He married twice. His first wife Frances (d.1790), whom he married in 1788, was the daughter and heiress of Edward Warter-Wilson of Bilboa, co. Limerick. The earlier arms are those of Moore impaling another, for John Moore, 1st Baron Moore (d.1725) of Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland. The unrecorded arms for the wife are probably unofficial arms used by the family of his first wife, Mary (1681-1722), daughter of Elnathan Lum or Lunn, a banker in Dublin, whom he married in 1697. He married secondly in 1722 Elizabeth, daughter of John Sankey of Tenelick, co. Longford, Ireland, the widow of Sir John King Bt. (d.1720).
