c. 1825
Made by the Firm of Joseph Stubbs, Burslem, Staffordshire, England (1822–1835) Decoration after William Birch (American (born England), 1755–1834)
The grandson of one of Philadelphia's richest men, William Hamilton used his considerable wealth to pursue his far-reaching interests in art, science, and horticulture. The gardens he created at Woodlands, his 600-acre country estate overlooking the Schuylkill River, were among the finest in the county at the time.
