She married Queen Victoria’s second son, Prince Alfred, in 1874 at the Winter Palace, St Petersburg. A companion figure of Prince Alfred exists, though it is not in the Fitzwilliam collection. As Marie wears a veil, it is likely that the pair of figures was made to commemorate the royal wedding in 1874. Rackham (1935) lists this figure as of a type made chiefly by Sampson Smith at Longton, a factory listed in contemporary directories as a ‘manufacturer of figures in great variety’, which began around 1851. The firm continued to make figures in quantity into the early part of the twentieth century, and again from 1948 when a number of original moulds were found on site. Sampson Smith figures were rarely marked, and there were many other manufacturers of figures working in Staffordshire at this time. However, this figure shares a number of features with figures known to come from the factory. It is simply moulded in three parts; it has a plain oval base; and the figure stands on rough ground supported by a wall. Moreover, as Pugh (1970) has noted, its size, style, base and titling are very similar to those of certain other 17 to18 inch figures, notably the Duke of Edinburgh (pair to the Duchess), Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales, and strongly resemble a 17 in mould for Dwight Lyman Moody found at the Samson Smith factory in 1948. Thus, it seems likely that this is a Sampson Smith figure. 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 14.5 Depth in 5.75 Height cm 44.5 Height in 17.5 Width cm 17.8 Width in 7 reference media-34063 adlib-media-34063 32f70c28-5ef8-38fc-b90b-397d57a2fd55 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1029_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926452323 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1029_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926452323 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1029_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926452323 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1029_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926452323 1 image 0 media image reference media-34064 adlib-media-34064 07fb69f9-89c5-33a8-b9ef-bd110c9d6ae4 jpeg aa/aa2/C_1029_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926772365 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1029_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926772365 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1029_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926772365 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1029_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926772365 1 image 1 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure 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 London Opinion Curio Club, Regent St, London.
