The Fitzwilliam collection holds three such English earthenware figures, a pair (C.936A-1928 and C.936B-1928) and Tragedy (C.937-1928). Similarities in moulding and colours suggest that these may have come from the same maker. Pearlware figures decorated with enamels were in production by 1780, though the bright coloured enamels on these figures indicates an early 19th Century date. They were generally made at smaller potteries and are rarely marked. A cheaper alternative to porcelain figures, they drew on a variety of sources, including sculpture and porcelain figures. Classical, biblical, mythological and literary subjects were popular, as were animals and representations of rural life, seasons and trades. Here the bodies are simple 3-part moulds, with a few hand-modelled parts applied. reference term-119816 adlib-term-119816 4c42c3d5-6453-34fb-896f-84311bfe7567 19th Century, Early reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Staffordshire reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 14.6 Width cm 10.4 reference media-47666 adlib-media-47666 0fc1e71a-1984-3b3a-8d8a-8888b301772c jpeg aa/aa2/C_936B_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616241163176 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_936B_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616241163176 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_936B_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616241163176 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_936B_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616241163176 1 image 0 media image reference media-47667 adlib-media-47667 606494d0-1ece-3455-a054-14bc1d6760a0 jpeg aa/aa2/C_936B_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616256963949 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_936B_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616256963949 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_936B_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616256963949 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_936B_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616256963949 1 image 1 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure reference term-134443 adlib-term-134443 1f927ae4-091f-35a9-b59f-e49a35bcf525 Staffordshire figure (early) history note An unidentified owner in Wisbech by whom sold to Mr Wordinham of Cambridge; bought with a pair (C.936A-1928) from Mr. Wordingham on 8 August 1925, for £4, by Dr J.W.L.
