Bidding ended. Lot is unsold.

Note: Whilst these examples are unstamped, other examples of this type do bear Coalbrookdale stamps, often being referred to as the 'Bacchus' type. The detailing apparently illustrates themes from the story of Bacchus' self transformation into a lion, to scare away his kidnappers whom he in turn, turned into dolphins,
