Maker: Samuel Moore & Co. Description: A washbowl printed with a titled view of Villa D'Este. After leaving England, Caroline, the estranged wife of the future George IV bought this villa on Lake Como in 1815. This view shows her on the lake with her lady in waiting and her supposed lover, Bartolomeo Pergami. This pattern probably dates to the early 1820s when the failed divorce suit brought by her husband first made Caroline's alleged indiscretions with Pergami public. Samuel Moore & Co. is believed to be the only factory that produced this pattern. |
