The same group has been found with the title ‘Pr & Prss. of. Prussia’, presumably issued after the wedding. This group commemorates the announcement of the betrothal of Victoria, Princess Royal (the eldest child of Queen Victoria) to Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1857. The couple, who became known for their liberal views, first met in 1851, when the Prince and his parents visited the Great Exhibition. He proposed while on holiday with the royal family at Balmoral in September 1855, and the figure group probably celebrates their betrothal. Woolliscroft (1976) lists this figure group as attributed to Sampson Smith, at Longton, a factory listed in contemporary directories as a ‘manufacturer of figures in great variety’, which began around 1851 and continued to make figures in quantity into the early part of the twentieth century. Sampson Smith figures are typically a simple three-part moulding with a plain oval base, like this, and often have the title in raised capitals. Similar sprigged patterns are also found on Sampson Smith figures, although the Princess’s skirt is unusually ornate. So this figure group may have been made there, though there does not seem to be sufficient evidence to confirm the attribution. This concurs with Rackham’s listing (1935) of the group as of a type made chiefly by Sampson Smith. reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-120127 adlib-term-120127 ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315 Victoria I reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country Staffordshire reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Depth cm 11.5 Depth in 4.5 Height cm 40.5 Height in 16 Width cm 22 Width in 8.625 reference media-33901 adlib-media-33901 762c0131-f118-3e06-8c5c-ef96c92558d0 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1011_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926437353 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1011_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926437353 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1011_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926437353 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1011_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926437353 1 image 0 media image reference media-33902 adlib-media-33902 9224170b-06b6-37a3-9c2c-fcb155089148 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1011_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926747776 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1011_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926747776 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1011_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926747776 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1011_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926747776 1 image 1 media image reference media-33903 adlib-media-33903 caf5787d-2e69-3345-9899-adfced2b9d22 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1011_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926619711 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1011_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926619711 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1011_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926619711 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1011_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926619711 1 image 2 media image reference media-33904 adlib-media-33904 b4583eca-12db-384e-8f57-c2edecc2a82d jpeg aa/aa19/C_1011_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 575 1702926730159 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_C_1011_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 661 width pixels 500 1702926730159 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/C_1011_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 575 1702926730159 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_C_1011_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 330 width pixels 250 1702926730159 1 image 3 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group object name reference term-130674 adlib-term-130674 2728ba11-801b-318a-8f24-c6f4b99f08e3 Victorian Staffordshire figure category reference term-130678 adlib-term-130678 c683fbc6-ba3a-3ab1-b2f5-41493ff3588d flat-backed figure category history note Bought from Mr Sadd on Kings Parade Cambridge 2nd February 1907 for £1.1s.
