Royal Worcester plaques depicting the Duke of Wellington and Lord Nelson will appear in a sale of English and European ceramics and glass at Woolley & Wallis of Salisbury on April 29.
The 6 x 4in (15 x 11cm) plaques, mounted in elaborate gilt wood frames with old paper labels to the reverse, were made in 1915 by William Hawkins. Hawkins worked at the factory from 1874-1928, specialising in portraiture, and was foreman of the men’s painting department for many years.
