Painted in black, brown, green, yellow, pink and orange enamels, and gilt.The lion stands with head to the left and facing forwards, on rocky ground and leaning against a tree trunk which is open at the top to form a spill-vase. The lion’s tail runs down its left hind leg, which is raised slightly above the base. The figure is well coloured. The lion’s back is green-brown and its mane red-brown; its eyes are outlined in black and its eyebrows, muzzle and paws are also black. The ground is painted in patches of yellow, green and brown; the tree trunk is brown with a green climbing plant and two branch stubs edged with shards of clay. The inside of the vase is orange. The long oval base is wavy to the front, which bears a gilt line. The underside is concave and glazed. The back is flat, though with some moulded shape.C.868A-19841accession numberC.868A-198476250priref76250urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/76250https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/76250referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam Museumreferenceagent-155987adlib-agent-155987e436f445-fa38-38a0-bdfd-83e40b0508c9Cameron, J.E., Mrs198419841984givenEntry date: 1984-10-2218501850CE1850circa1850186511865CE1865circa1865perhaps Dudson?productionreferenceagent-187914adlib-agent-1879143ff8e302-3ac3-3560-9a60-800ee4445118Unidentified factoryJames Dudson at Hanley made a large number of animal figures in the 1830s-40s; from around 1850 until 1865 they made flat-backed figures. The quality of painting on these lions, the outlining of the eyes, and the markings on the flat-backs suggest that they could perhaps be Dudson figures. But there were many other manufacturers of figures working in Staffordshire at this time.This animal figure is a pair, its companion being a right-facing lion with spill-vase, which is also in the Fitzwilliam collection. Spill vases held tightly rolled scraps of newspaper. They were kept on the mantle-shelf to light the fire, as matches were expensive.referenceterm-109672adlib-term-109672a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e86419th Century, Mid#referenceterm-15214adlib-term-15214744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9bVictorianreferenceterm-107611adlib-term-107611790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247white earthenwarereferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazeDepthcm5Depthin2Heightcm15.6Heightin6.125Widthcm11.3Widthin4.5referencemedia-47252adlib-media-47252523b36a0-79d3-3806-9bcd-426a08d3444fjpegaa/aa2/C_868B_1984_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162542027541imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_868B_1984_281_29.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50016162542027541imagejpegaa/aa2/C_868B_1984_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162542027541imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_868B_1984_281_29.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25016162542027541image0media
