Collector’s label for Frances L. Dickson, active mid-late 20th century. A large number of pieces were donated by Frances Dickson to the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, including numerous examples of early Staffordshire figures.
The exact model, with stronger colouring, is illustrated in Vol 4, ‘Staffordshire Figures’ by Myrna Schkolne, p84 fig.153.52, ‘Possibly made by Enoch Wood’. The brown line to the rim on all sides of the base is often noted as a Enoch characteristic. The finish underneath the base also conforms.
