Some users believed it had regenerative powers for restoring hair, or for restoring its natural colour. According to some sources, bear’s oil was being advertised for use on the hair as early as 1822. By the late 1830s bear’s grease and bear’s oil were one of the more popular hair pomades. James Atkinson’s Bears Grease advertisements have also been found on pot lids. This unusually large animal figure is believed to have come from Staffordshire, though the maker has not been identified. 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 37.5 Depth in 14.75 Height cm 23 Height in 9 Width cm 23 Width in 9 reference media-43128 adlib-media-43128 9e48588e-b584-37ad-99f6-e89f0dd590cb jpeg aa/aa7/C_35_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583161231 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_35_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583161231 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_35_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583161231 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_35_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583161231 1 image 0 media image reference media-43129 adlib-media-43129 0c6dd357-973b-3947-a70c-fd5f2e46e12b jpeg aa/aa7/C_35_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583178527 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_35_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583178527 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_35_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583178527 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_35_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583178527 1 image 1 media image reference media-43130 adlib-media-43130 557b00ac-41f0-3e52-ae9d-70247cb9050e jpeg aa/aa7/C_35_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583215781 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_35_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583215781 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_35_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583215781 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_35_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583215781 1 image 2 media image reference media-43131 adlib-media-43131 ddea7364-d63f-3733-910e-720e277bd38b jpeg aa/aa7/C_35_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583192460 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_35_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583192460 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_35_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583192460 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_35_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583192460 1 image 3 media image reference term-110277 adlib-term-110277 97f1ad1c-7b1d-373a-b0ae-ed010d95f37b animal figure object name reference term-130674 adlib-term-130674 2728ba11-801b-318a-8f24-c6f4b99f08e3 Victorian Staffordshire figure category reference term-102596 adlib-term-102596 b0a9be1f-448e-3250-aa90-1087b2ca8bd9 advertisement object name reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Cf.
