Admiral of the Blue, Edward Boscawen, is perhaps best known for his decisive naval command at the Siege of Louisbourg in 1758. The map of Canada unfurling in his right hand shows 'Labrador' and 'Louisbourg' in reference to this victory. The source for the portrait was taken from a print by John Faber the Younger dated 1747, after the painting by Allan Ramsay, the map of Cape Breton a later addition to reference the victory. See Joseph Handley, 18th Century English Transfer-Printed Porcelain and Enamels, 1991, p.21, 1.12. The coat of arms is discussed by Handley (p.190, 7.3). A similar mug titled 'Admiral Boscawen' below the portrait was sold in these Rooms, 13 December 2006, lot 232.
As a younger man, Boscawen first saw major military action at the Battle of Portobello in 1739. See lot 29 in this sale for a saltglaze stoneware vessel commemorating Admiral Vernon's victory.
