Earthenware group of a dandy and his lady seated on a bench, with bocage. His left arm is around her shoulder and with his left he is offering something to her (now broken off, possibly flowers?). She carries a brown reticule in her left hand and wears a large yellow hat, a blue blouse or jacket and a white skirt. The hat is decorated with big pink feathers, her skirt with multicoloured dots and stylised flowers and her blouse with yellow epaulettes. She has a yellow bow at her neck. The gentleman has a black top hat and wears a black coat over a frilled shirt with stock and high collar, and yellow trousers. Both wear black shoes. They sit on a moulded yellow bench in front of a stylised tree which has blue and red flowers. Beside him is a brown urn with a three-leaved plant. A small dog (?) to her left has broken off. The scene is placed on a raised oval base which has a flat top and, at the front, a relief moulded panel of red, pink and yellow feathers between scrolling foliage; the foliage and top of the panel are edged in blue; the rest of the base is painted grass green. The back is fully decorated. The underside is flat, within a deep rim which forms the sides of the base.

However, the distinctive base here does not seem typical of marked Walton examples and we now know that several potters made figure groups in this style, often copying designs and other features. Earthenware figure groups were popular from around 1810, although the earliest examples date from nearly a century earlier. A cheaper alternative to porcelain figures, they were often produced by small potteries; very few are marked. Classical or literary subjects were frequently copied from porcelain examples, but potters increasingly turned to scenes from everyday life and topical events. These early figure groups are often complex, with modelled and moulded parts and applied decoration and bocage (stylised foliage) is common on groups from c.1810-20; the backs, though flattened, are also decorated. But as demand increased processes were simplified to allow cheaper mass production and by the mid 1830s the earlier methods had largely given way to three-part press-moulding. This fashionably dressed ‘dandy’ is courting his lady, though her pose suggests she may not yet be willing. Another piece in the Fitzwilliam collection (C.952-1928) shows a similar couple in the same setting as a family group with two small children. Similar features, such as the base, bocage, bench, urn and decoration on her dress, suggest both are from the same pottery, although the family group is slightly smaller. As Dr Glaisher's notes say, such figure groups are particularly interesting because they show contemporary costume. reference term-119816 adlib-term-119816 4c42c3d5-6453-34fb-896f-84311bfe7567 19th Century, Early reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Staffordshire white reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 19 Width cm 21 reference media-47766 adlib-media-47766 2f6446c2-0c53-3cc0-adfd-0bc669976686 jpeg aa/aa8/C_958_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616247309931 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/mid_C_958_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1616247309931 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/C_958_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616247309931 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/preview_C_958_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1616247309931 1 image 0 media image reference media-47767 adlib-media-47767 7ff7b67c-29b2-356c-b329-3577aeeed7b2 jpeg aa/aa8/C_958_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616263135936 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/mid_C_958_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1616263135936 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/C_958_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616263135936 1 image jpeg aa/aa8/preview_C_958_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1616263135936 1 image 1 media image reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group history note Captain Reynolds Collection, London, sold to Messrs Gill and Reigate.
