However, it is unmarked, and we now know that several other potters made figures at this time. Dr Glaisher, who called it a tiger, thought it ‘a very interesting piece of the pre-Whieldon period’ and noted he had seen another example.This lion is a very early example of moulded earthenware animal figures made (mainly) in Staffordshire. The shaded colouring is produced by brown and green oxide colours under the glaze. A very similar example is found with clear glaze over the cream earthenware body and a brown coloured base and the existence of similarly modelled buffalos and elephants suggests that wild animals in general were a popular subject.referenceterm-113159adlib-term-1131594bdfb4a7-b307-3dfa-a3d6-8ada4683271e18th Century, third quarter#cream and dark brownreferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareHeightcm12.7Lengthcm17Widthcm9.5referencemedia-47128adlib-media-47128fec8bc14-abf5-3aca-ab53-6f88d7c3e94ejpegaa/aa2/C_835_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162868429581imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_835_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162868429581imagejpegaa/aa2/C_835_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162868429581imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_835_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162868429581image0media
