An 18th century double-sided glass seal, (originally from a swivel fob seal), of oval moulded form, monogrammed to one side, and with coat of arms verso, length 23.5mm. £60-£80

---

Provenance: The arms are those of John Hogg (1752 - 1815) of King’s Lynn, Norfolk.


Son of George Hogg, a freeman of King’s Lynn, and successful businessman in the shipping trade, John was almost certainly articled to Philip Case (1712-1792), the most successful lawyer in King’s Lynn in the 18th century, and adviser to Lord Charles Townshend. By the 1770s Hogg was practising as Case’s junior partner in nearby Aylsham and serving as a local magistrate.




John never married but in his will left his extensive Norfolk and Cambridgeshire estates to be sold for the benefit of his 13 nieces and nephews.

The coat of arms depicts the ‘Pelican in her Piety’, a symbol of sacrifice, charity and Christ’s self sacrifice. The Hogg family, with origins in Scotland, England and Ireland, adopted this symbol to represent these virtues.
