The reverse with a similar gilt scroll panel, painted with a seascape of figures being rescued from a shipwreck in a stormy sea. All accentuated by a turquoise ground, beneath a gilt net motif. The bottle mounted with a hinged silver gilt cover, chased with a continuous band of acanthus leaf decoration, beneath a wreath of patriotic flowers, including roses, shamrocks, and thistle. Very rare printed mark in gold, now only faintly visible in certain light which reads ‘Copeland And Garrett, Stoke On Trent & London. Impressed mark Copeland & Garrett as well.
