Drinking glass with election inscription. England, 1754. Sir John Pole (around 1733-60) was a parliamentary candidate defeated by Lord George Carpenter in the 1754 election contest at Taunton, Somerset. The glass, engraved with the legend 'Sr. I: Pole for ever, 1754', was no doubt intended for Pole's supporters to drink his health in an alcoholic beverage supplied by the candidate himself. Parliamentary election slogans and other populist sentiments were engraved or painted on glass, ceramics and enamels during the 18th century. H. 16 cm; diam. 5.8 cm. Inv. PY 1891,0619,1.
