Glassy soft-paste porcelain, slip-cast (?) with thick, bubbly, clear lead-glaze with minute black speckles here and there.Soft-paste porcelain figure of a Turkeycock of 'Snowmen' type. Glassy soft-paste porcelain, slip-cast (?) with thick, bubbly, clear lead-glaze with minute black speckles here and there. The flat underside is unglazed apart from dribbles of glaze round the front edge, and has a large circular ventilation hole in the centre. The rounded four-sided base has a rock at the back and three applied daisies in front of it. The turkeycock has his tail spread out, and stands on his right leg with his left resting on the rock. A vine bearing groups of applied leaves and bunches of grapes climbs up the front of the rock and over the back of the turkeycock, terminating in a vertical cup-like projection, perhaps to serve as a taperstick holder. There are three turquoise marks in the glaze, two on the rock below the turkeycock's tail and one on the back of its right leg.18referenceexhibition-1503adlib-exhibition-15038e0b780d-518a-3051-bd8e-2c7f662af1f8Digging for Early Porcelain, The Archaeology of Six 18th-century British Porcelain FactoriesC.3085-19281accession numberC.3085-192838095priref38095old object number4220, vol. 24urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/38095https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/38095referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumDr J.W.L.

The lead in the glass permitted it to fuse at a lower temperature, but also made it prone to warp or collapse during firing. This is shown by many warped waster fragments excavated on the site.referenceterm-106496adlib-term-106496bd563695-7339-3178-a8c4-25189907099318th Century, Mid#referenceterm-107736adlib-term-107736e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1George IIreferenceterm-110389adlib-term-1103896a581738-18db-3f82-921a-35963516d3cfliteralEnglandEnglandcountryliteralStaffordshireStaffordshireregionLongton Hallglassy typereferenceterm-37637adlib-term-3763789b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecbsoft-paste porcelainpresumed leadreferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazeHeightcm18.2Width Beak To Tailcm13.4referenceterm-110277adlib-term-11027797f1ad1c-7b1d-373a-b0ae-ed010d95f37banimal figurehistory notePurchased at Frome, Somerset in 1918 with C.3086-1928 for £2.10s.0d. by A.G.W.
