English pottery Prattware spirit flask commemorative circa 1795

Reference: 6091

Dated: c. 1795 Staffordshire England

A rare and fine example of a late 18th century pottery Prattware spirit flask.
Decorated in relief are images of The Duke of York and on reverse "The Royal Sufferers".
The flask surprisingly holds a quarter pint. The image of the doomed French Royal family is especially poignant with the Dauphin emerging between the King Louis and Marie Antoinette who were all executed in 1793.
