For Sale I have a vintage  W.H. Goss porcelain crested china souvenir for for S outhampton, Hampshire (or the old English spelling of 'Southton') . The front of the vase or bottle carries the City Crest or Coat of Arms for Southampton .  The rear is plain but the base has the WH Goss stamp as well as the explanation "Model of Leather Bottle found on Battle-field of Newbury, 1644. Now in Museum".  The Battle of Newbury (1644) should have been an easy victory for Parliament but, hampered by its three Generals, ultimately ended in failure. Donnington Castle was captured by the Royalists in late 1643 in the aftermath of the first Battle of Newbury. Southampton is a port city in the ceremonial county of Hampshire in southern England. It is located approximately 70 miles (110 km) south-west of London and 15 miles (24 km) west of Portsmouth. The city forms part of the South Hampshire built-up area, which also covers Portsmouth and the towns of Havant, Waterlooville, Eastleigh, Fareham and Gosport. A major port, and close to the New Forest, it lies at the northernmost point of Southampton Water, at the confluence of the River Test and Itchen, with the River Hamble joining to the south. Southampton was the departure point for the RMS Titanic and home to 500 of the people who perished on board. The Spitfire fighter airplane was built in the city and Southampton has a strong association with the Mayflower, being the departure point before the vessel was forced to return to Plymouth. More recently, Southampton is known as the home port of some of the largest cruise ships in the world. Southampton is also one of the largest retail destinations in the South of England. Southampton was heavily bombed during the Second World War during what was known as the Southampton Blitz. It was one of the major embarkation points for D-Day. It was also where troops left England for the Battle of Agincourt and was itself victim of a number of raids from French pirates in the Middle Ages, leading to the construction of the fortified town walls, many of which still stand today. Jane Austen also lived in Southampton for a number of years. In 1964, the town of Southampton acquired city status, becoming the City of Southampton.
