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.

114.10b. Attributed to Ralph Wood with a line banding three sides of the base. The pair illustrated in 114.10 in the printed book are from the same molds but seemingly were made a little later by another potter, perhaps Dudson. Courtesy Tooveys.

114.10C. Attributed to Ralph Wood and impressed with the model number "87" beneath. This is the only Ralph Wood figure I know of that has the painted line banding all four sides of the base. Courtesy Hansons.

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

114.22a. The same models as 114.21 and 114.22 but these are a fine, true pair with original bocages. Courtesy Iroquois Auctions.

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.

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

114.36. Made in Scotland. Courtesy eBay seller jayoemms.

114.37. Courtesy Andrew Dando.

114.38. See below for an underglaze version of this figure holding what seems to be a peacock. Courtesy Adam Partridge.
