They were generally made at smaller potteries and are rarely marked. A cheaper alternative to porcelain figures, they drew on a variety of sources, including sculpture and porcelain figures. Classical, biblical, mythological and literary subjects were popular, as were animals and representations of rural life, seasons and trades. From the early 19th Century, scenes from everyday life and topical events were also common. These early figures are moulded, perhaps with moulded or modelled parts added, the bases often formed separately. By c.1835, these early methods had largely given way to three-part press-moulding, which enabled cheaper, mass production of figures for a growing market. The label ‘S.JOAO’ indicates that this figure was made for export, perhaps to Portugal or Brazil. Dr Glaisher thought it ‘ a really good specimen…[it] took my fancy from the careful modelling of the face, and the sheep in general style’. Both he and Bernard Rackham attribute it to Lakin and Poole of Burslem, citing the rectangular, marbled plinth and the careful modelling. This would indicate an early date, as the partnership of Lakin and Poole lasted only from 1791-1795 although the firm continued until 1797. Their goods included blue-printed and cream earthenware, black basalts and ‘figures in great variety’. Halfpenny’s description of their figures as ‘plump ... with slightly protruding eyes’ could apply here, although the marbling and labelling of the base seems less refined than on marked Lakin and Poole examples. reference term-107764 adlib-term-107764 0d6ecfb5-e150-385d-8b76-979bcf2adc8c 1790s reference term-108171 adlib-term-108171 c943fe08-bd72-32ab-823c-e1eeb56717b3 literal England England
