Painted in under-glaze blue and in black, green, orange, brown and flesh-pink enamels, and gilt. Shakespeare stands, leaning his left elbow on a column and crossing his left leg over his right; he holds a scroll in his left hand. The figure is well coloured. He wears a long flesh-pink coat with orange lining; a blue under-jacket decorated in gold; breeches which are finely painted in shades of green; a white shirt with broad collar; pale blue stockings and black shoes. His clothing is edged in gilt and there are gilt laces on his shoes. He is balding, with short black hair and a trimmed beard and moustache. The pillar has brown and flesh-pink bands. Black marks indicate writing on the scroll. The rectangular base has rounded corners and a vertical concavity to the front, in the centre of which is a gilt motif comprising a dot enclosed by two vertical bracket lines, with eight small gilt lines to either side. There is additional gilt decoration of four dots and a line on each side of the base front. The underside is concave and glazed. The back is partly moulded and coloured, with a vent hole 5 cm from the bottom.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616), England’s greatest poet and playwright, was a popular figure for Victorian Staffordshire figures; Pugh shows at least ten. He is often shown in similar pose to this, sometimes in a pair with Milton or Garibaldi. Victorian Staffordshire models of Shakespeare’s house were also made, and a series of Shakespearean characters, based on Tallis’s Shakespeare Gallery (1852-53), which have been attributed to Thomas Parr. reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-120127 adlib-term-120127 ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315 Victoria I reference term-113577 adlib-term-113577 cd0ed1a6-635d-38f9-a89b-486feecbafb1 literal England England country Shelton reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Depth cm 8 Depth in 3.125 Height cm 23.3 Height in 9.25 Width cm 11.4 Width in 4.5 reference media-47262 adlib-media-47262 33bd16eb-ffc6-33d6-a00d-fa1aefc315c8 jpeg aa/aa2/C_870_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926572091 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_870_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926572091 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_870_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926572091 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_870_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926572091 1 image 0 media image reference media-47263 adlib-media-47263 9e159c53-12d2-3374-9ab5-46154b3aefb0 jpeg aa/aa2/C_870_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926506678 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_870_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926506678 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_870_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926506678 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_870_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926506678 1 image 1 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 From the collection of the late Colonel R.G.

Also, a number of other figures of Shakespeare with crossed legs, pillar and scroll in hand. Page 575, Plate H5, Fig.12 is a similar moulding, but the base has a rough top and is decorated with a simple gilt line, and the 12 in figure is differently decorated; Pugh suggests this is a pair to a figure of Milton. 574-578 reference publication-3585 adlib-publication-3585 784308ef-9535-3132-970c-45af8a273a64 Staffordshire Portrait Figures and Allied Subjects of the Victorian Era Cf. Figs 320P, 321P, 324P: three figures in very similar pose, though with differences in the moulding, decoration and base. Also, p.86, Fig.203: a figure of Milton, with very similar decoration, notably the pillar, breeches (though red) and under-jacket, a flesh-pink cloak and the same motifs on the base, but only 8 inches high. 128-129 reference publication-7227 adlib-publication-7227 6dc55e19-7dee-3713-a8a4-c81f86e35351 Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835-1875, Book One: portraits, naval & military, theatrical & literary characters Cf.
