A POLYCHROME DECORATED LEATHER BOMBARD OR 'BLACKJACK' JUG CIRCA 1700 Later decorated circa 1820 to commemorate General Hill's service under the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, with the coat of arms of Hill (blazoned as Ermine, on a fesse sable a castle triple towered argent), the family motto 'Avancez', lion and unicorn supporters and the verse 'All you that bring tobacco here must pay for pipes as well as beer'. The underside with a collection label, inventory numbers and a painted kiln or tower flanked by the ownership mark for RLD HILL 37cm high, 18.5cm wide, 23cm deep Provenance: Upper Slaughter Manor, The Collection of Micheál and Elizabeth Feller, 9th November 2021, lot 44 (£5,944.50 incl. BP) Born in Shropshire in 1772 the second son of Sir John Hill, Baronet Hill. General Rowland Hill, 1st Viscount Hill, GCB, GCH (1772-1842) joined the army with the 38th Foot regiment as a commissioned officer in 1790 and the following year was promoted to Lieutenant and then transferred to the 53rd Foot, followed by Captaincy of his own company. By 1800 he was a Colonel and commanded the 90th Foot in the Battle of Aboukir Bay, Egypt, where he defeated the French. He was ranked Major-General in 1805. He also served with distinction at Waterloo. He became a Tory MP and was awarded the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in 1828. The inscription is from a popular poem displayed in inns in the early 19th century: All you that bring tobacco here Must pay for pipes as well as beer; And you that stand before the fire, I pray sit down by good desire; That other folks as well as you, May see the fire and feel it too. Since man to man is so unjust, I cannot tell what man to trust; My liquor's good, 'tis no man's sorrow, Pay to-day, I'll trust tomorrow.
