Enamel-painted Figures

114. 2a. The group on the left is like 114.1 but is here shown alongside the companion group (see vol. 1, ch. 26 for other examples.) (c) Christie's.

114.2b, Probably made by Ralph Wood. The black marbled base occurs on other RW examples, but not too commonly. The painting of the base mound and the manner in which the base is formed suggest the attribution.

114.2c. Base of previous figure attributed to Ralph Wood. Dudson also made this model, but Dudson bases are formed quite differently beneath.

114.5a. Like 114.4 and 114.5, attributed to Dudson. Shown here with the companion group, of the kind featured in chapter 27. Both groups are placed on wooden bases that are not original.

114.19a. Like the figures in 114.16 and 114.19, but a true pair.

114.27. A replacement for 114.27 in the book. This is a better example with largely original bocage. Attributed to Ralph Wood. Courtesy Klein James Auctioneers.

114.27a. Reverse of previous figure. As expected in a Ralph Wood figure, the back of the base does not have a line, although the other three sides do. Courtesy Klein James Auctioneers.

114.35. Much is missing here, but the girl is holding a chicken of sorts, hence the inclusion in this chapter.

114.36. Impressed "87" and attributed to Ralph Wood.

114.37. Like the previous figure but in color. This example is not impressed "87", but it can be attributed to Ralph Wood based on the similarity to the previous figure AND the decoration. Notably, the line painted on the base bands three sides only.

114.38. This old lady with a bird pairs with the gentleman leaning upon his stick. He is also seen in vol.4, ch. 199.

Like 114.20 and the previous two figures. Decorated in a Pratt palette with flowers on the corners in the manner of the Yorkshire pot bank that favored such decoration. Courtesy Nest Egg Antiques.

Lke 114.15 but decorated in Pratt colors. Courtesy John Howard.

Symbolic of Matrimony, in the manner of the first groups shown in this chapter. Perhaps the companion figure, not recorded, held a bird. I know of no other example of this model. Courtesy Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood.
