Enamel-painted Figures

159.13a. Apollo (R). Impressed APOLLO beneath. Attributed to Neale/Wislon. Note the clothing is draped differently from the norm, illustrated in 159.13. For info on the unusual Ceres, alongside, see 166. CERES on this site. These atypical versions of these figures are recorded in basalt. Courtesy Malcolm Trundley.
159.14a. Courtesy Reeman Danside.
159.14b.
159.4a. Note the different lyre, which I strongly suspect may be a restoration. Courtesy Lacy, Scott & Knight.
159.17. An unusual form of the Dixon, Austin watch stand, flanked by large figures of Apollo and Ceres. For the more typical form, see 198.25. This example is marked on the top of the base in the usual way. (c) Conestoga Auctions.
159.19. A smaller figure, titled. Figures with this base are usually rather fine. You can see a very fine titled TENDERNESS on this base in Volume 4.
159.20. Impressed FELL, the mark of Thomas Fell of Newcastle, active from 1817.
159.21. Like the previous marked FELL figure but unmarked. H: 13.5 inches. Courtesy madelena.com.
159.22. Unmarked but just possibly by Ralph Wedgwood, only because I recall seeing this base with his mark.
159.23. A brightly colored Apollo. The base is open beneath.
159.24. Christies, South Kensington, 11 June 1992, a marked Lakin & Poole Apollo sold. I cannot find it illustrated in the catalog as claimed.
159.25. Impressed "WEDGWOOD" and made by Ralph Wedgwood. (c) Skinner, Inc.
159.26. Attributed to John Dale. Courtesy Skinner.
159.27. Decorated in the style of the decorator William Absolon of Yarmouth. See 153.10-153.13 for similar, one with Yam's mark. Also 195.18. Courtesy eBay seller Katja2.

Figures Decorated with Colored Glaze

Impressed "44" and attributed to Ralph Wood. (c) Bonhams.
