£ price on application
On a coppergilt plinth, the silvergilt vase cast with masks, vine tendril handles and two lion pelts with texturing below a frieze of fruiting vines, with lift-off collar and screw in liner, both crested, the foot engraved with a coat of arms and inscribed "Presented by the Officers of the 7th (Queens OWN) Hussars to Col. Edward Kerrison in token of the Respect excited by his Conduct At the Battle of Orthes 27th February 1814 and as a mark of the Regard & Esteem they feel towards him August 1814" the plinth with an upper border of tongue and dart.
THE WARWICK VASE
Created in ancient Rome, uncovered from the bottom of Lake Tivoli, near Hadrian's Villa in 1770. The vase features classical bacchal masks and associated emblems such as a pine-cone tip staff known as a thysrus, together with classical leaves and intertwined naturalistic handles, raised on a square plinth. Sir William Hamilton, the special consul to Naples, who was well known for his famous collection of antiquities including terra cotta vases and for a time owned the vase. Hamilton gave it to his nephew, the Earl of Warwick, and the original stood at Warwick Castle until the 1970s, when it was sold to the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, where it is now on display. There is an apocryphal story that the restorer changed one of the eight God's heads into a portrait of Lady Hamilton with a pointed devil's ear because she had offended him.
MAJOR-GENERAL SIR EDWARD KERRISON, KNT. &. C.B.
THIS officer was appointed Cornet in the 6th or Inniskilling dragoons the 23rd of June, 1796: Lieutenant in the same corps in 1798: Captain in the 47th the 18th of October, 1798, from which he was removed to a troop in the 7th Iight dragoons the 8th of November, 1798. He obtained a Majority in the latter corps in 1803, and was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel in it the 4th of April, 1805; and Colonel in the army the 4th of June, 1813. He served with the 7th light dragoons in the expedition to the Jlelder in 1799, and was in the actions of the 19th of September, 2nd and 6th of October. He embarked with his regiment for Spain in October, 1808, and served with Sir John Moore's army during that campaign: upon this service he, with a part of his regiment, came up with an advance of the enemy's cavalry on the plains of Leon, where the officer was killed, and the men taken prisoners; Colonel Kerrison was severely wounded on this day, the 25th of December, 1808, his arm being broken in two places. In August, 1803, he landed at Bilboa: be commanded the 7th hussars at the passage of the Olerou, the action of Sauveterne, the 24th of February, and at the battles of Orthes and Toulouse. The 7th hussars bore a distinguished part in the battle of Orthps, as expressed in Lord Wellington's
despatches follows:—" The 7th hussars distinguished themselves upon this occasion, and made many prisoners; their charges were highly meritorious." On the return of the regiment to England, the officers presented a piece of plate, value two hundred guineas, to Colonel Kerrison, in testimony of their consideration of
his conduct. He served the ensuing campaign in the Netherlands, was slightly wounded at Waterloo, but continued with his regiment, and was present at the siege of Cambray, and the surrender of Paris. He has the honor of wearing a medal for the battle of Orthes, and of being a Companion of the Order of the Bath. His services have been further rewarded with the honor of Knighthood. The 12th of August, 1819, he received the rank of Major-General.

In Original re-fitted case. By Placide Poussielgue-Rusand, Paris, Circa 1880
Each 17 1/2 inches (44cm) Tall
The Maker
Placide Poussielgue-Russand was one of the most important french nineteenth-century silversmiths. He exhibited and won awards at the Universal Exhibitions of 1878, 1889 and 1900. He often worked with Viollet le Duc and his work can be found in many important collections. important Pieces by Poussielgue-Russand include those in the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
King George I of the Hellenes
George I, King of the Hellenes (1845-1913) was King of the Hellenes (Greece) from 1863 to 1913. Originally a Danish prince, when only 17-years old he was elected as King by the Greek National Assembly, which had deposed the former King Otto. His nomination was both suggested and supported by the Great Powers (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Second French Empire and the Russian Empire).
As the first monarch of the new Greek dynasty, his 50-year reign (the longest in modern Greek history) was characterized by territorial gains as Greece established its place in pre-World War I Europe. Two weeks short of the fiftieth anniversary of his accession, and during the First Balkan War, he was assassinated. In sharp contrast to his reign, the reigns of his successors would prove short and insecure. He is the Great-Great Grand Father of Charles, Prince of Wales.
