IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 74928 accession number: C.40-1930 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Tuesday 4 July 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Cream earthenware, press-moulded, and decorated with yellow, green, greyish-brown and brown lead-glazes. The underside of the base is open and unglazed, and has six ventilation holes in its sides and one in the centre. The figures are supported on a roughly oval rocky mound base with a tree stump in the middle. St George rides Roman fashion without stirrups on a spirited horse moving to the viewer's right with its tail streaming out behind. He wears a semblance of Roman military costume with a plumed helmet, and a long sash across his breastplate. He looks downwards and turns towards the viewer with both hands raised to grasp a spear (now missing) with which he is attacking the green and yellow dragon which writhes on the ground below him with its head raised and jaws open. object type: earthenware decorated with coloured lead glazes title: figure group NOTES ----- type: history note value: John Henry Taylor (1849-1930); sold Sotheby's, 14 November 1930, Catalogue of the Valuable Collections of English Pottery & Porcelain, Glass, Objects of Vertu and Furniture, the Property of the late John Henry Taylor, Esq., Newstead, Birstall, Leicestershire, lot 580.
