Enamel-painted Figures

113.1a. From the Christie's June 3 1994 catalog. (c) Christie's.

113.10a. Bird whistle. Courtesy John Howard.

113.11a. Whistle

113.11b. This whistle is 12 inches long and 8 inches tall. It is decorated in colors associated with the Northeast pot banks. Courtesy John Howard

113.11c. Not a whistle but a sweet figure all the same! H: 6.5 cms. Courtesy Woolley & Wallis.

113.12a. Courtesy Woolley & Wallis.

113.15a. Courtesy Mears & Boyer.

113.18a. Courtesy John Howard.

113.18b. After a porcelain model and possibly with some underglaze and some enamel colors. Courtesy Stair Galleries.

113.23a. Smaller than 113.23. I think. See below for swans in underglaze colors. (c) Bonhams.

113.23b.

113.23c. A swan whistle. Courtesy John Howard. Also shown in the Addendum to Vol. 4.

113.33a. Peacock. Courtesy John Howard Antiques.

113.37a. This perplexing figure is of the same form as 113.37. The base is a typical Enoch Wood form and the blue flower is of a form only otherwise seen on Enoch Wood/Wood & Caldwell figures....yet it is mpressed WEDGWOOD. I know Wedgwood was a plagiarist extraordinaire, but he really gummed up my thinking with this one! It remains a challenge. I wish I could see how the base was made beneath. (c) Christie's.

113.37b. This pair of eagles has a hole atop each head, presumably for a metal mounting of sorts. (c) Skinner Auction Gallery.

11.58a. Apparently a true pair.

113.58b. Another true pair.

113.75. Salt-glazed stoneware with enamel decoration. Circa 1760. Courtesy the National Museum of Scotland.

113..76. Salt-glazed stoneware with enamel decoration. Circa 1760. Courtesy the National Museum of Scotland.
