Painted underglaze in cobalt blue and with black, grey, brown, green, yellow, maroon, pink and flesh-pink enamels, and gilt. A woman in Middle Eastern dress lounges on a couch with her feet up, resting against the arm and playing a stringed instrument. The figure is well coloured. She wears a long green, fur trimmed coat over pink and grey striped harem pants and a mustard yellow dress, trimmed in pink; a pink sash; and a light pink turban. Her bodice and sleeves are edged in thick gilt and the turban bears a gilt crescent at the front. Her shoes are black and pointed; her hair is brown; her features are finely painted. The table base has six legs, above which is a thick gilt line; the front is decorated with gilt leaf motifs; the top is moulded to form a couch, with a raised arm to the right. The couch is a deep blue. The underside, which forms two concave tunnels, has a vent hole and is glazed. The figure is moulded and decorated in the round.

Anthony Oliver has argued that several characters in Middle Eastern dress, made prior to the Crimean War, derive from this poem, which was published in 1813. The poem was first dramatised in 1918, with Edmund Kean as the hero Selim. It was successfully revived at Sheffield in 1840 and at Astley’s, Drury Lane in May 1947. It also appeared as a toy theatre production, and the first illustrated edition of the poem was published in 1838. The table base and the figure moulded in the round suggest a production date of around 1840. The figure shares a number of features with others that have been attributed to John and Rebecca Lloyd, who made both earthenware and porcelain figures at Shelton between 1834 and 1852 (see Oliver (1981), p.109). These include the complex moulding, the addition of tiny shards of clay for fur around the coat, generous gilding and the thick gilt line across the base, and the well-fired use of enamel colours particularly associated with the Lloyd factory, notably the sage green coat and the pink turban. There are also similarities with the moulding and decoration of male and female standing figures in Middle Eastern dress shown in Pugh (1970) and Oliver (1981), both of which are impressed ‘Lloyd Shelton’. There is a pair to this figure, a similarly dressed and decorated man, with a shisha/hookah pipe. The dress and pose of these figures suggest they are theatrical. reference term-109672 adlib-term-109672 a788e98b-c8a4-313c-9617-1a812228e864 19th Century, Mid reference term-107658 adlib-term-107658 824d3ecf-92c1-33aa-8d45-2f0239317270 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Staffordshire reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze Depth cm 7.7 Depth in 3 Height cm 12.8 Height in 5 Width cm 12.8 Width in 5 reference media-53478 adlib-media-53478 aa26e183-8a9f-327a-96ad-2e386fed3967 jpeg aa/aa3/C_80_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926358489 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_80_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1702926358489 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_80_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926358489 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_80_1984_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1702926358489 1 image 0 media image reference media-53479 adlib-media-53479 031a72d3-0ca1-3237-ae43-3944e1c2bd2e jpeg aa/aa3/C_80_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926440457 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_80_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1702926440457 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_80_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926440457 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_80_1984_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1702926440457 1 image 1 media image reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure category reference term-130674 adlib-term-130674 2728ba11-801b-318a-8f24-c6f4b99f08e3 Victorian Staffordshire figure category reference term-130678 adlib-term-130678 c683fbc6-ba3a-3ab1-b2f5-41493ff3588d flat-backed figure category history note From the collection of the late Colonel R.G.

Fig 1229C: a similarly moulded 5 inch figure with the same gilt decoration to the legs of the couch; otherwise the colouring is different: the cloak painted in underglaze blue; the hat and the cloak edging are green; the top of the couch is in variegated pink. Also a similarly dressed and decorated pair to this figure: a man relining on a couch, with a shisha pipe. Harding identifies the pair as Artabanes and Mandane from the Opera Artaxerxes, by Thomas Augustine Arne. 92 reference publication-7229 adlib-publication-7229 4a22be48-1439-3797-9496-05bc530ca185 Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835-1875, Second Addendum Cf.
