Cheaper to produce than porcelain figures, they were often produced by small potteries; very few are marked and classical, religious or literary subjects were frequently copied from porcelain examples. These early figure groups are often complex, including modelled and moulded parts and applied decoration. However, as demand increased, processes were streamlined to allow mass production and by c.1835 the earlier, relatively costly, methods had largely given way to three-part press-moulding. Table groups, standing on four or six short legs, were made from c.1825-35; similar features suggest they were made by just a few makers. They have in the past been attributed to Obadaiah Sherratt of Burslem, but without clear evidence; they were probably made by a number of figure makers. However, similarities in the table base and bocage suggest this group was made by the same potter as another in the Fitzwilliam Collection (C.970-1928). The Bible tells that God tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice his son. Abraham bound Isaac and raised his knife to kill him. When God saw Abraham had obeyed, He sent an angel to tell him to stop and a ram to sacrifice instead (ref. Genesis 21). reference term-134369 adlib-term-134369 e802f29c-a259-3ff8-940a-81beac6a5913 19th Century, Early reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal
