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.

30.14a. 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.

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

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

30.42a, 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. Probably the companion to 30.45--note similarities in the base and the holding of the basket.

30.43b. Reverse of previous.

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

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.

30.89a. 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..

30.99. Courtesy Richard Gould Antiques.

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.

Underglaze and Color-glaze Decorated Figures

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 ."

See 30.3 to 30.7 for a very similar model in enamel colors. I don't think this figure has wings on her back. (c) Andrew Hartley.

See 30.3 to 30.8 for a very similar model in enamel colors. Courtesy Andrew Dando.

See 30.3 to 30.8 for a very similar model in enamel colors. (c) Tenants.

Like 30.11 - 13 but in Pratt colors. Courtesy Andrew Dando.

See 30.24 and 30.27 for very similar models of this rabbit vendor in enamels. (c) Brighton and Hove Museums.

Like the previous figure but on a different base. This is quite a tall figure, as can be seen by comparing it to the figure of Summer alongside.

Attributed to Ralph Wood. Same model as 30.14. (c) Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

See 30.68 for an enamel- painted example.

Like 30.99 above. (c) Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

Like 30.98 above but decorated in colored glazes. The base form is an early one that consistently appears on figures from circa 1790. (c) Brighton and Hove Museums.

Like the previous figure but made without the square base. Courtesy eBay seller sac3205.

LONDON CRYERS impressed on the front of the base. (c) Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

I think these may be vendors, but see this vase also on 24 Gardening on this site, along with related vases. (c) Victoria and Albert Museum.

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

A companion to the following boy.

Height 7 inches, so not too tiny. See also the previous figures of the same form. (c) Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
