Enamel-painted Figures

30.6a. Like the male figure in 30.6 but the base has a lip on the edge. (c) Hanson's.

30.37a. Look at the gentleman vendor in the turquoise coat (behind the lady holding a bird's nest.) Surely "Sherratt" and a model not otherwise recorded.

30.12A. Mate. Like 30.12 , which is titled "& Partner) and attributed to Ralph Wood. Bocage lost. Courtesy Christie's South Kensington, 20 Sept 2001, lot 19.

30.14a. Attributed to Ralph Wood, a titled example of the Dutch Boy in 30.14. Impressed "50". Courtesy Neil Miller.

30.14b. Impressed number on the reverse of the Dutch Boy previously shown. Courtesy Neil Miller.

30.14b. Attributed to Ralph Wood. The boy (also in 30.14a) is impressed "50". Courtesy Malcolm Trundley.

30.16a. Like 30.16 but without Sir Frances Burdtt's name on the paper in the vendor's hand. I have long suspected that the name may be a slightly later addition. The blue line bands all four sides of this base. Courtesy Hansons.

30.20a. Attributed to the Gray Base Group. Courtesy eBay.

30.26a. Like the figure in 30.25-26 but with a different bocage and probably made by a different potter. Courtesy Elinor Penna.

30.40a. Made without bocage. Courtesy Classic Tradition.

30.42a, Probably the female companion to figures like 30. 41 and 30..42. Much of the bocage is lost...see next image. The figure itself is like 30.44 but the basket is place differently.

30.42b. Reverse of 30.42a. This figure once had 4 bocage branches. This looks like a Leather Leaf bocage leaf, and the base would be consistent with that attribution.

30.43a. Like figs 30.31-43, but the basket is placed differently. Made without bocage. Probably the companion to 30.45--note similarities in the base and the holding of the basket.

30.43b. The bocage is suggestive of "Sherratt" but is insufficient on its own to substantiate an attribution. Courtesy Tayler & Fletcher.

30.62a. Companion model to the girl in 30.62 and probably also attributable to the Box Title Group.

30.63a. Like 30.63 but with fruit rather than flowers in the basket.

30.63b. From the same figure molds as 30.63a and 30.63. Courtesy ebay seller my-country-house.

30.66a. Note the similarity to 30.64-66. This model was intended as a companion t the model in 30.63.

30.72. Like the single in 30.72 and with further evidence of an Enoch Wood attribution in that a number (34) is impressed beneath.

30.72b. The number 34 impressed the base of the previously shown pair.

30.76a. Like 30.76 but a pair.

30.99. Courtesy Richard Gould Antiques.

30.89a. Like previous examples but with a different bocage.

30.97. With obvious losses, but I think she is intended to be a vendor. Base also lacking.

30.98. I think this is decorated entirely in enamels, and I have noted two or three examples of this figure, as well as the example following..

30.100

30.101

30.102. Creamware body and, I think, enamel colors. (c) Brighton and Hove Museums.

30.103. Unrecorded figure of a lady, probably a vendor.

30.104. Reverse of previous.

30.105. Impressed FRUIT GIRL> Courtesy Lawrence Fine Art Auctioneers, Fitt Reed sale.

30.106. Courtesy eBay seller kinkozanfan.

30.107. Girl with fish in her basket. Courtesy eBay seller katja2.

Figures Decorated under the Glaze or with Colored Glazes

This stunning pair of 12" figures seem too significant to include among lowly vendors, but, as each bears a basket, here they are. The image is from "Mr. Frank Partridge's Collection ."

Perhaps from the same molds as the following figure, but much prettier, I think.
