Enamel-painted Buildings
149.2. This cottage is not attributed in Vol. 4, but I now confidently attribute it to "Sherratt."
149.3a. This damaged group is of the same form as 149.2 and 149.3 but two male figures stand in the foreground, and a sheep is applied alongside the well head spouting water on the front. Attributed to Sherratt based on similarities with other cottages. Courtesy eBay seller artpalaceuk.

Underglaze-decorated Buildings
The buildings in the first block are formed as a Wesleyan chapel. On each front corners stands a figure of a young child. Each building is about 7 inches tall had has a money slot on the back of the room. It is thought that the Wesleyan Chapel in Mexborough, Yorkshire, which still stands, was the design source for these money boxes. The inscriptions indicate that they were made well into the 1840s.
The buildings shown below all are money boxes. All are decorated in high-temperature under-glaze colors and were made in Yorkshire. The money slot is in the back of the roof.
Below are money boxes that may have been made outside Yorkshire, possibly Staffordshire
The churches below are not money boxes, all probably made in Yorkshire.
This cottage below was probably made in Scotland or northeast England. Courtesy ebay seller mehorder.

The building below, a mansion rather than a cottage, is courtesy of Robert Carde.
The church below, courtesy of Bonhams, was made at the Kilnhurst Pottery in Yorkshire. It is a whopping 32 cm. wide and portrays Hooten Roberts Church, which still stands today, before the structure was modified in the late nineteenth century.
The castle below is a watch holder with a separate pearlware watch in place. Incised on the reverse "B Watts Ferrybridge 1839". Two yellow glazed watch holders of the same form in the Yorkshire Museum are similarly incised. No potter of this name is recorded in Ferrybridge, but a James Watts worked at nearly Knottingley and at Pontefract as a potter. Courtesy Bonhams Width 27.5 cms.
Color-glazed Buildings
These green-glazed castles are modeled after the Coninbrough Keep which is located in South Yorkshire; they attributed to the Brameld pot bank in Yorkshire. The smaller one stands at 6.5" and is open. The larger castle was made with a lid. Courtesy John Howard.
Buildings Decorated with Uncolored-Lead Glaze
This large pearlware house adorned with mice functioned as a pastille burner, although the pull-out "drawer" that held the pastilles is now lost. It is about 10" across. Courtesy the William Herbert and Nancy Hunt Collection.
This creamware Georgian mansion, although damaged, was designed complete with architectural details and a formal garden,. It measures around 15" across. Courtesy Rowley Auctioneers
Made in Scotland and inscribed "Delftfield/August 5 1789," and the letter "J" as well as another, perhaps "H". The initials may be those of the potter John Hainton, who is known to have worked at Delftfield in the 1770s. Courtesy George Haggarty.
