Enamel-painted Figures

32.1a. These salt glaze figures are the very earliest of the enamel-painted figures and were made before 1780. So rare and gorgeous. I just could not resist showing them.

32.1b. Lile the previous male Turk.

32.3a. Note the close similarity to 32.3, also made by Sherratt.

32.6a. Courtesy Leonard Joel Auctions.

32.6b. Courtesy HowOriginalStore on Etsy.

3.23a. In the same style as 3.21 to 3.23 but modeled differently. Unusual too in that a blue line is painted around the base.

32.24a. A true pair! Attributed to Ralph Wood. The line extends around three sides of the base only. Also, the interior of the base is consistent with a Ralph Wood attribution, and the muddier palette on the base is consistent with later RW figures.

32.24b. Reverse of 32.24a. Note the line on the front and sides of each base is not present on the back, as is consistent with a RW attribution.

32.24c. Bases of 32.24a, made in a manner consistent with a Ralph Wood attribution.

32.25a. A true pair.

32.25b. I have not otherwise recorded this figure on a square base AND with a bocage. Courtesy Barbara Gair at Castle Antiques.

32.27a. Attributed to Dudson. Courtesy Tennants.

32.30.a. Companion figure to 32.28 to 32.30.

32.36.

32.26. A Turk, I think. Courtesy Gorringes.
