Bust

A small earthenware bust of a naval officer in a uniform coat, similar to the 1795 pattern. The cream glaze is decorated in brown and white. An inscription on the base is indecipherable. The bust is moulded in one with a waisted plinth with naval trophies in relief on the front. The general appearance of the figure is similar to busts of Admiral of the Fleet Adam Duncan, 1st Viscount Duncan (1731-1804).
