Underglaze-decorated Figures

Fire is on the left, alongside Venus.

Probably intended to be Air rather than Venus. I suspect underglaze decoration rather than enamel but I may be wrong. The palette is suggestive of the Scottish pot banks.

I suspect this figure is symbolic of Air. Courtesy Michael Grana.
