Painted underglaze in cobalt blue and with black, grey, brown, red, orange, green, yellow, pink and flesh-pink enamels, and gilt. 2011 2011 2011-11-08 The French soldier, on the left, holds a tricolour flag in his right hand and a gun in his left, its butt resting on the ground. He wears: a cap with black peak: an orange jacket with two rows of black buttons, yellow epaulets, gilt edged cuffs and a black neckerchief; and crossed white belts with a gold buckle. The gun has a grey barrel and a brown butt. Beside him, the sailor holds a Union Jack flag, with pink extension. He wears: a gilt edged, open, blue jacket; a white shirt with gilt edged collar; a loosely tied black neckerchief; a black belt with gold buckle; and a wide brimmed yellow hat. The sailor has a beard; both wear black shoes. Between them is a flesh-pink wall, with four black-lined cannon mouths; at its base is a pile of shot, touched in black. The rectangular base is rounded to one end; a gilt line runs across its front. The group is well coloured. The figures stand on rough ground, which is painted in a combed pattern of brown and green. The underside is concave and glazed. The back is flat, with a vent hole 27cm from the bottom. There are four round holes in the centre front, 6,9,11.5 and 14cm from the bottom.

The Fitzwilliam collection also includes a similarly posed figure group of the French Emperor, Napoleon III, and Queen Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert (C.1026-1928). The existence of both these groups in different mouldings, including the French soldier and the English sailor as single figures, indicates that they sold well. Woolliscroft (1976) lists this figure as attributed to Sampson Smith, at Longton, a factory listed in contemporary directories as a ‘manufacturer of figures in great variety’, which began around 1851 and continued to make figures in quantity into the early part of the twentieth century. Rackham (1935) also identifies the group as of a type made chiefly by Sampson Smith. The simple three part moulding of this figure and its plain oval base suggest it might have been made at the Sampson Smith factory, though there seems to be no other evidence for this attribution, and there were many other, manufacturers of figures working in Staffordshire at this time. reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-15214 adlib-term-15214 744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9b Victorian reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country 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 6.5 Depth in 2.25 Height cm 34 Height in 13.375 Width cm 18.5 Width in 7.25 reference media-33897 adlib-media-33897 fc011ec3-21a2-3c82-bbc6-a08282ea460e jpeg aa/aa2/C_1009_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582300826 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1009_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582300826 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1009_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582300826 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1009_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582300826 1 image 0 media image reference media-33898 adlib-media-33898 03b1f0a9-577e-3460-a90f-388dbb77c608 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1009_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582285500 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1009_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582285500 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1009_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582285500 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1009_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582285500 1 image 1 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group category 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 Praed Street, London, W.
