W. L., Dr 1928 1928 1928 bequeathed Entry date: 1928-12-07 1847 CE 1847 circa 1847 Following Pugh (1970) and Balston (1958), it seems more likely that this figure was made by the ‘Alpha Factory’, an as yet unidentified producer whose figures share a number of common features. Here these include: well moulded in the round; underglaze cobalt blue; and the title in gilt script bracketed by three strokes of gilt. According to Pugh, certain ‘Alpha factory’ figures may be found with the title either in indented capitals or in gilt script. Pugh also lists another figure of Jenny Lind as ‘Marie’ (Plate E81, Fig.120) as ‘Alpha factory’. Jenny Lind (1820-1887), was a Swedish-born opera soprano. Mendelssohn wrote the soprano part in Elijah for her, and she sang with Verdi. She is believed to have inspired several Hans Christian Andersen stories, including The Ugly Duckling and The Emperor’s Nightingale. She performed the role of Marie in Donizetti’s two-act opera La figlia del reggimento (the daughter of the regiment) in 1847. This was shortly after her London debut as Alice in Meyerbeer’s Roberto il diavolo – when, it is said, Queen Victoria threw her a bouquet from the Royal Box. Rackham (1935) lists this figure as of a type made chiefly by Sampson Smith at Longton. Sampson Smith is listed in contemporary directories as a ‘manufacturer of figures in great variety’ in Longton and seems to have begun making figures around 1851, moving to Sutherland Works in 1859. The firm continued to make figures in quantity into the early part of the twentieth century, and again from 1948 when a number of original moulds were found on site (see Haggar (1955), pp.102-107, 148). But Sampson Smith figures were rarely marked, and there were many other, often smaller, manufacturers of figures working in Staffordshire at this time. The source for this figure is the illustration on a music cover by John Branard for Jullien’s Celebrated Polkas No.16, inscribed ‘Jenny Lind in the character of Maria [sic] in Donizetti’s opera La Figlia del Reggimento’ reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-120127 adlib-term-120127 ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315 Victoria I reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 Staffordshire reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Depth cm 6.2 Depth in 2.375 Height cm 20 Height in 7.875 Width cm 7.6 Width in 3 reference media-33881 adlib-media-33881 dbe43b4b-6081-36c8-b219-f8445724e4a1 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1003_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926350615 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1003_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926350615 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1003_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926350615 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1003_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926350615 1 image 0 media image reference media-33882 adlib-media-33882 74e693e3-2e9b-3c29-8405-98e3c5fafa47 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1003_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926698483 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1003_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926698483 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1003_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926698483 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1003_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926698483 1 image 1 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure object name reference term-130674 adlib-term-130674 2728ba11-801b-318a-8f24-c6f4b99f08e3 Victorian Staffordshire figure category reference term-130678 adlib-term-130678 c683fbc6-ba3a-3ab1-b2f5-41493ff3588d flat-backed figure category history note 109 S. 15th Street Philadelphia U.S.A, bought on 23 April 1910, for $4, by Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge 1 reference object-71132 adlib-object-71132 bdc797ca-440e-3608-8d79-743f5b21d8c3
