A pitcher of cream ware with a black print entitled “The Gallant Defense of Stonington Aug 9th 1814.” It represents that famous defence when the inhabitants of the town, with one gun successfully resisted the attack of the British force of several vessels, sinking one ship and driving off the others. Underneath, the legend, “Stonington is free whilst her heroes have one gun left.” On the other side is the print of a ship with the words, “United States Frigate Guerriere, Com. MacDonough bound to Russia July 1818.” Mr. Prime says that a citizen of Stonington who went to Russia on public service in the Guerriere ordered these pitchers in Liverpool. He may have made the drawing of the battle for the engraver. Macdonough. Victory on Lake Champlain. Dark blue print on Staffordshire ware. See No. 188. 126. Naval Battle.
