PENSE’, above a rose and thistle. It is supported by the lion and the unicorn, each on its hind legs and standing on a scrolling ribbon inscribed ‘DIEU ET MON DROIT’. The inscriptions are incised and coloured black. The group is brightly coloured with enamels over a blue-tinged glaze and stands on a green kidney-shaped cushion.

A cheaper alternative to porcelain figures, they were often produced by small potteries; very few are marked. These early figure groups are often complex, including modelled and moulded parts and applied decoration and the backs, though flat, are decorated. But as demand increased, processes were streamlined to allow mass production and by c.1835 the earlier, relatively costly, methods had largely given way to three-part press-moulding.‘The Royal Arms’ was probably made to celebrate the accession of either George IV (1820) or William IV (1830). John Walton (1780-c.1835) is listed in an 1818 commercial directory as a colour maker and earthenware figure manufacturer; the business was taken over by his son-in-law George Hood, during the 1830s. His figures are notable for their rich colours, they are often set against bocage (stylised leafy trees) and many of his subjects are taken from porcelain originals; the rectangular ‘marble’ base used here is also typical of his work.referenceterm-119816adlib-term-1198164c42c3d5-6453-34fb-896f-84311bfe756719th Century, Early#referenceterm-108171adlib-term-108171c943fe08-bd72-32ab-823c-e1eeb56717b3literalEnglandEnglandcountryliteralStaffordshireStaffordshireregionBurslemreferenceterm-107611adlib-term-107611790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247white earthenwareHeightcm15.2referencemedia-47718adlib-media-47718817ce4af-ac4f-3226-904d-1cd5c73907e4jpegaa/aa2/C_949_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162634393111imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_949_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162634393111imagejpegaa/aa2/C_949_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162634393111imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_949_1928_281_29.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162634393111image0media
