A cheaper alternative to porcelain figures, they were generally produced by small potteries and very few are marked. Classical or literary subjects might be copied from porcelain examples, but scenes from everyday life and topical events were also increasingly popular. These early figure groups are often complex, with modelled and moulded parts and applied decoration; the backs, though flat, are decorated. As demand increased, processes were streamlined to allow cheaper mass production and by the mid 1830s the earlier methods had largely given way to three-part press-moulding. Some features of the modelling suggest this group might have been made by John Walton of Burslem, as mooted by Bernard Rackham in 1935. However, designs were frequently copied between potteries and this un-marked piece lacks the bocage often found on Walton’s figures. This fashionably dressed man is a ‘dandy’ – a gentleman who regards his appearance as important. The group perhaps represents courtship. As Dr Glaisher's notes say, such groups are particularly interesting because they show contemporary costume. reference term-119816 adlib-term-119816 4c42c3d5-6453-34fb-896f-84311bfe7567 19th Century, Early reference term-108171 adlib-term-108171 c943fe08-bd72-32ab-823c-e1eeb56717b3 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Burslem reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 20.9 Width cm 11.5 reference media-47839 adlib-media-47839 41a0422b-acba-3c97-8d7b-48f8e3e94c1c jpeg aa/aa8/C_972_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616250827322 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/mid_C_972_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616250827322 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/C_972_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616250827322 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/preview_C_972_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616250827322 1 image 0 media image reference media-47840 adlib-media-47840 2a53d06c-be57-31eb-9530-3904c11142b5 jpeg aa/aa8/C_972_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616246320343 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/mid_C_972_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616246320343 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/C_972_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616246320343 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/preview_C_972_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616246320343 1 image 1 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group reference term-134396 adlib-term-134396 238a8c79-c8ce-3ed9-9d80-3a938ba82083 Staffordshire figure group (early) history note Captain Reynolds Collection, London, sold to Messrs Gill and Reigate.
