    I don’t need help with this one but it was the highlight of my trip to auction today. It’s a rare Worcester Grainger Lee porcelain nightlight holder moulded as a sentry box with a lithophane of Napoleon. There’s some damage but it’s a very rare piece and few have survived. Dates to c 1830-35 . Unmarked. Only one marked example recorded to date.
