However, Dr Glaisher lists it simply as ‘Staffordshire figure of a girl on one knee praying, with her hands together in prayer’ and this also seems to be the opinion of others. Pugh (1970) suggests that the figure may be theatrical. There were many manufacturers of figures working in Staffordshire at this time. Rackham (1935) lists this figure as of a type made chiefly by 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. However, there is little evidence for this attribution. Sampson Smith figures typically have a flat back and plain oval base, and the modelling of the figure suggests it might have been made before the factory opened. 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 9.7 Depth in 3.75 Height cm 26 Height in 10.25 Width cm 14.6 Width in 5.5 reference media-214027 adlib-media-214027 eb54db32-74af-31bc-97e2-841b06124955 jpeg aa/aa40/C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1702926471909 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/mid_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 666 width pixels 500 1702926471909 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 1025 width pixels 769 1702926471909 1 image jpeg aa/aa40/preview_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1702926471909 1 image 0 media image reference media-34026 adlib-media-34026 d9465c54-7789-3c59-b5fd-32f59aa77035 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1021_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926758340 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1021_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926758340 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1021_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926758340 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1021_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926758340 1 image 1 media image reference media-34027 adlib-media-34027 c02cfae8-36bf-36cb-8742-36b318f93286 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1021_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926527401 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1021_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926527401 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1021_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926527401 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1021_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926527401 1 image 2 media image reference media-2365796643 portfolio portfolio-media-2365796643 a9beadc6-a1fe-3fe5-b2dc-62ac373f8d85 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/312/61/large_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1365 width pixels 1024 1511485347000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/312/61/mid_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 667 width pixels 500 1511485347000 1 image C.1021-1928_1_201702_adn21_mas.tif 1511485347000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/312/61/preview_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1511485347000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/312/61/C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 6098 width pixels 4573 1511485347000 1 image 3 media image reference media-3853644187 portfolio portfolio-media-3853644187 cdd658b6-133a-38ca-bb22-f414fc25c371 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/623/288/large_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 1365 width pixels 1024 1550047056000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/623/288/mid_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 667 width pixels 500 1550047056000 1 image C.1021-1928_1_201702_adn21_dc1.jpg 1550047056000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/623/288/preview_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1550047056000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/623/288/C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_dc1.ptif 1 height pixels 6098 width pixels 4573 1550047056000 1 image 4 media image reference media-3394671077 portfolio portfolio-media-3394671077 6d4a0941-a97a-3fd1-851c-32a84b8b6543 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/35/641/large_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1365 width pixels 1024 1695943660000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/35/641/mid_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 667 width pixels 500 1695943660000 1 image C.1021-1928_1_201702_adn21_mas.tif 1695943660000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/35/641/preview_C_1021_1928_1_201702_adn21_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 250 1695943660000 1 image 5 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure 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 Maggs, High Street, Falmouth .
