They were generally made at smaller potteries and are rarely marked. A cheaper alternative to porcelain figures, they drew on a variety of 3-D 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. From the early 19th Century, scenes from everyday life and topical events were also common. These early figures are moulded, perhaps with moulded or modelled parts added, the bases often formed separately. After around 1810-1820, bocage (stylised foliage) is common and figures are often more vibrantly coloured. By c.1835, these early methods had largely given way to three-part press-moulding, which enabled cheaper, mass production of figures for a growing market. This figure is clearly a portrait and is probably based on a contemporary engraving. Dr Glaisher suggests the subject may be George Washington (1732-1799), the first President of the United States. The flat-back style and painting of the figure indicate an 1830s date, so perhaps it commemorates Washington’s centenary. reference term-120816 adlib-term-120816 b8c35cb6-f02f-34c9-9dda-b3120e12c749 19th Century, second quarter reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Staffordshire reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware reference media-47879 adlib-media-47879 90007cd4-3a4f-38f0-8448-3240fb25c2a6 jpeg aa/aa2/C_983_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616266401176 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_983_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616266401176 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_983_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616266401176 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_983_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616266401176 1 image 0 media image reference media-47880 adlib-media-47880 b6db4bb4-e706-3310-8268-9edc07c68c68 jpeg aa/aa2/C_983_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616273936898 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_983_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616273936898 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_983_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616273936898 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_983_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616273936898 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 Bought from Mr Bishop at Bideford on 1 October 1912 for £1.7s 6d (one pound seven shillings and sixpence) by Dr J.W.L.
