They were popular from around 1780, but both the subject and production of this figure are unusual. Early figures are usually press moulded, perhaps with modelled parts added; slip-casting was a more expensive process which required longer drying times and so was only used for figures that could command a higher price. Meanwhile, although figures of exotic animals, such as lions, were common, very few leopards were made. These factors, together with the delicate decoration and the scarcity of surviving examples, suggest this figure was made for a specialist market. Exotic animals, previously only seen in aristocratic collections, became more widely known from the late 18th Century as travelling menageries took them out to the public. These shows evolved into what we now know as circus around the 1830s, as animal tamers’ tricks, brass bands and human performers were added. One such venture, Wombwell’s Menagerie, began in c.1807; by 1839 it included 15 wagons of animals; by 1850 there were three shows touring; and the business continued until 1884. reference term-134369 adlib-term-134369 e802f29c-a259-3ff8-940a-81beac6a5913 19th Century, Early reference term-120993 adlib-term-120993 9b7070e0-66cb-334c-a4a6-54aaa5566091 George III or George IV 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 13.3 reference media-47205 adlib-media-47205 f7b6a578-6810-3e99-a805-b0cf07eb4748 jpeg aa/aa8/C_853_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583592459 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/mid_C_853_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583592459 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/C_853_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583592459 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/preview_C_853_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583592459 1 image 0 media image reference media-47206 adlib-media-47206 7aa03a0e-2b83-3a80-ba7c-f8430b6bc388 jpeg aa/aa8/C_853_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583589461 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/mid_C_853_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583589461 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/C_853_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583589461 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/preview_C_853_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583589461 1 image 1 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 Bought by Mr Stoner at Puttick and Simpson, Argyll St, London, on 2 March 1917, lot 235, for £4.10s.6p (four pounds ten shillings and sixpence); sold for £4.14s.6p (four pounds fourteen shillings and sixpence) to Dr J.W.L.
