The pot bank that used round flowers on the base
The Pratt ware figure on the left is shown alongside its enamel painted counterpart on the right (also see above). The figures come from a small pot bank notable for the use of distinctive round flowers on the corners of the base. All the figures recorded hitherto are decorated in a Pratt palette, with the exception of the lone enamel-painted figure shown here.

Silver Luster Figures
This figure model is not otherwise recorded, which is rather surprising because I might have expected it to have an enamel-painted counterpart. Silver luster was introduced commercially in 1804, so this figure was made after that date.
Even Earlier
This site has not expanded to include the very earliest figures, which were hand modeled and are almost all in museum collections. But I can't resist adding this musician in the National Museum of Scotland, which I would die to own. Made circa 1750, it is salt-glazed stoneware that has been painted with colored slip. Notice his detailed curls!
