Enamel-painted Figures

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.

159.18

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.

Figures Decorated with Colored Glaze

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

This figure, very much in the Ralph Wood style, is notable for having an impressed rebus, a mark thought to perhaps be that of Ralph Wood.
