A standing figure of Venus with a dolphin.Lead-glazed earthenware painted in greyish-green, green, tanned flesh pink, red, pale brown, dark brown, and black enamels. The underside of the base is closed and has a large ventilation hole under the support and a small one under the dolphin. The black base is circular with straight sides and has a brown tree stump at the back which supports Venus, who stands with the dolphin on the viewer's right of her, its head beside her left foot and its tail resting on the tree stump. Venus has brown hair and eyebrows. Her lips are red, and her nude body is coloured overall in a rather startling tanned flesh pink. She wears a grey-green fig leaf. The dolphin's scales are painted in two shades of green, and it has a red mouth and fins.J18referenceexhibition-1070adlib-exhibition-10702cb713dc-899f-35df-9c15-515a05f38d48Plagiarism Personified?

This early 19th century copy demonstrates the startling results produced by all-over enamelled decoration on a copy of a statue generally envisaged white. Bernard Rackham (see Documentation) dated the figure to about 1820 on the basis of another inscribed 'THOMAS LEEK 1819' illustrated in Herbert Read's Staffordshire Pottery Figures.referenceterm-106498adlib-term-106498272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d619th Century, Early#referenceterm-107437adlib-term-10743796f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479George IIIreferenceterm-108976adlib-term-108976dc8f08bb-8cb5-3af0-a884-9780ec8d0e12George IVwhitereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwarereferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazeHeightcm61referencemedia-169166adlib-media-169166f880b121-af11-3e2b-ae69-aecece7e1221jpegaa/aa27/C_980_1928_1_201203_mdb56_mas.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels58116162859743141imagejpegaa/aa27/mid_C_980_1928_1_201203_mdb56_mas.jpg1heightpixels654widthpixels50016162859743141imagejpegaa/aa27/C_980_1928_1_201203_mdb56_mas.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels58116162859743141imagejpegaa/aa27/preview_C_980_1928_1_201203_mdb56_mas.jpg1heightpixels327widthpixels25016162859743141image0media
