object type: The oval base is inscribed ‘Grace Darling’ in gilt script. Grace and her father face each other in a boat, on choppy water, with a lighthouse and cottage on rocky cliffs behind.

The house has a red-brown door and a pink roof; there is gilt on its two windows and chimney. The scene is outlined in shards of clay, painted pink, brown and green to suggest vegetation. The underside is concave and glazed. The back is flat, with part missing.
