By Thomas Mayer of Cliff Bank Works, Stoke 1826 to 1835 and Brook Street, Longport 1836 to 1838. The design is that of a prominent classical urn set in a romantic, imaginary landscape. It may have been inspired by Antonio Canova (1757-1822), who was an Italian sculptor working in the neoclassical style. He lived and worked in England for many years and was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy. After his death, Countess Albrizzi published The Works of Canova in 1824, which was a catalog of the sculptures he had created for English patrons. The Canova model by Mayer consists of a view of a lake landscape, with a romantic treatment of the decor. Mark printed in blue, which incorporates the words Canova. I can't tell if it's Stoke 1826 to 1835 and Brook Street or Longport 1836 to 1838.
