Enamel-painted figures

124.1a. Attributed to Ralph Wood. A better example than 124.1, having what appears to be a good Ralph Wood bocage. The rainbow palette on the base is typical of Ralph Wood.
124.22. Pair of goat spill vases that would have sat on either side of another spill vase, as in the next picture.
124.23. Another pair of goat spill vases, like the previous pair but here shown with the central component of the garniture.
124.24
124.25. A number of enamel-painted animal spill vases that all seem to have originated from the same pot bank have spill vases of this form. (c) Bonhams.
124.26. The upturned horns on this cashmere goat are as originally made, and another like this has not been recorded. Courtesy Mears and Boyer.
124.27. Courtesy John Howard.
124.28. Courtesy Gildings Auctioneers.

Figures Decorated with Underglaze Colors and with Colored Glazes

I think this is a goat!
Like 124.15 but decorated with colored glaze.
A goat creamer. Attributed to Joseph Sewell at the St. Anthony’s Pottery. A goat creamer formed and decorated in the same way is recorded with the impressed mark “ST ANTHONY 2” beneath, this being a mark used by Joseph Sewell at the St. Anthony’s Pottery after 1804. Courtesy John Howard.

I believe this spill vase with goat is in the Potteries Museum. The companion vase has a sheep and can be seen on this site among the sheep in chapter 131.
These goats are often attributed to Tittensor. I have compared the bocage leaves to those on Tittensor figures and cannot find a close match, so no attribution I am afraid.
Reverse of the previous pair.
Base of the previously shown pair of goats.
This goat is in the same style as the previous example, but the bocage leaves are quite different.

Reverse of the previous goat showing that the bocage leaves are formed unpaired front to back, as is more usual; also the reverse of the bocage is not painted.Courtesy Andrew Dando.

H; 4.8 inches. Said to be salt-glazed stoneware.
Bocage lost. Courtesy eBay seller katja2.
Scottish goats

Goats such as the two below are known to be Scottish and are now thought to have been made at the Gordons' Pottery, Prestonpans.  A mold for such a goat survives and is in the National Museum of Scotland.  Please also see Vol. 2 of the book for a similar goat with Paul Pry astride.
