Enamel-painted Figures

153.53a. Air. In the same series as 153.52-53 and possibly by Enoch Wood. Courtesy eBay seller strike2.

153.54. Air. Attributed to "Blue Group" pot bank.

153.55. Reverse of 153.54. The undecorated backs of the bocage leaves are often seen on "Blue Group" figures

153.56. The element Air. Made by Wilson. This is typical of the Neale/Wilson figures, but this is the only recorded Neale/Wilson Element. Surely lots more must have been made?

153.57. The impressed Wilson mark along with the title AIR beneath the previously shown figure.

153.58. Fire. Attributed to the Grey Base Group. The only Element from that pot bank on record to date. Courtesy eBay seller nunraw.

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.
