Although sometimes known as ‘Pratt ware’, they were made by many small potteries and are rarely marked. Classical and allegorical subjects were common, as were figures engaged in everyday work and leisure and wild, circus and domestic animals. Exotic animals such as lions and tigers would have been known from travelling menageries. Under-glaze painted figures were moulded and biscuit fired, then painted or sponged with metal oxide colours before glazing and firing. This required only two firings, so they were cheaper to produce than enamelled figures, but they were restricted to a palette of earth colours (yellow, green, blue, purple, brown and black), since only metal oxide colours could withstand the high temperature of the glaze firing. Some, like this example, were very finely moulded and others used complex multi-part moulds. But by c.1835 three-part press-moulding had largely taken over, enabling even cheaper and faster production for a growing market. reference term-123604 adlib-term-123604 e2dbe5c7-69b1-3d9b-b515-bca920826e03 1820s reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country Staffordshire reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 22.5 reference media-47200 adlib-media-47200 b0205828-3154-3452-9da0-7c155654c303 jpeg aa/aa3/C_852_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583554238 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_852_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583554238 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_852_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583554238 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_852_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583554238 1 image 0 media image reference media-47201 adlib-media-47201 c8b429d4-5ca6-3cf0-9ef9-fb3a7af75ac8 jpeg aa/aa3/C_852_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583535365 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_852_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583535365 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_852_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583535365 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_852_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583535365 1 image 1 media image reference media-47202 adlib-media-47202 11bac128-1b0a-3091-a910-58f080037812 jpeg aa/aa3/C_852_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583573794 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_852_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583573794 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_852_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583573794 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_852_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583573794 1 image 2 media image reference media-47203 adlib-media-47203 5894c74f-b841-3c93-8e5a-0aa4135e2805 jpeg aa/aa3/C_852_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583592030 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_852_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583592030 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_852_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583592030 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_852_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583592030 1 image 3 media image reference media-47204 adlib-media-47204 e074b792-4ec3-3350-bdc6-a0df84d2d39d jpeg aa/aa20/C_852_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 568 width pixels 760 1742583610367 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_C_852_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 374 width pixels 500 1742583610367 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/C_852_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 568 width pixels 760 1742583610367 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_C_852_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 187 width pixels 250 1742583610367 1 image 4 media image reference term-110277 adlib-term-110277 97f1ad1c-7b1d-373a-b0ae-ed010d95f37b animal figure reference term-134443 adlib-term-134443 1f927ae4-091f-35a9-b59f-e49a35bcf525 Staffordshire figure (early) history note Mrs Arthur James; sold at Sotheby’s, 28 November 1910, Old Staffordshire Pottery the property of Mrs Arthur James, lot 52.
