Bowl

A small lustreware bowl, transfer-printed in black on one side with a disabled sailor and soldier, leaning on a large drum with another sailor waving his hat behind. Naval trophies and military trophies are placed beside them and in the background there is a ship and a fort. Inscribed below: 'THE FLAG THAT'S BRAVED A THOUSAND YEARS/THE BATTLE AND THE BREEZE'. On the other side within a floral border with a ship above is a six line verse: 'Now weigh the anchor hoist the sail/Launch out upon the pathless deep/Resolved however veers the gale/The destined port in mind to keep/Through all the dangers of the way/Deliver us good Lord we pray.' On the inside: 'When tempest's mingle sea and sky/And winds like lions rage and rend/Ship's o'er the mountain water's fly/Or down unfathom'd depths descend/Though skill avail not, strength decay/Deliver us good Lord we pray'.
