Title: Doveridge Hall, Derbyshire
Artist: Unknown
Engraver / Plate Maker: Unknown

This print appears in Marshall's Select Views in Great Britain. Doveridge Hall was built by Sir Henry Cavendish in 1769 and commanded superb views across the River. In 1792 the Cavendish family became Lords. The Hall was used by the family until 1894; but with their revenue from Ireland being seriously reduced, they decided to rent the Hall out as a way of obtaining a more substantial income.

Description:

This small pitcher, likely a cream or syrup pitcher, is No. 13 in the Arman's numbering system. The central pattern on this example is taken from the source print shown below. Portions of the border pattern are quite blurred on this example.  Prior to discovery of the source prints that Clews used for these patterns, researchers David and Linda Arman endeavored to provide descriptive names for them.  The Armans named this scene Building, Two Wings, Water in Foreground.  This view appears on a larger water pitcher, a platter and a vegetable dish as well.
