“I fastened her headdress with the assistance of a pink ribbon, and placed a large ruby in the center. The result was a furore at the opera! People in the pit, where at that time there were as yet no seats, crushed one another in their efforts to see this masterpiece: three arms were dislocated, two ribs broken, three feet crushed. In short, my triumph was complete.”

Sailors’ Rights Flask (Turtle Whimsy), c.1826–32

It was intended to be a whimsy and most likely never served a functional purpose. The back of the turtle depicts a sailing ship, and the phrase “Free Trade and Sailors Rights,” a popular political slogan during the War of 1812, runs around the edge. The mold for this flask was made in support of the war, but this turtle was undoubtedly made later.
