Large Staffordshire Pottery Pearlware Group ‘Perswaition’,c. 1815-25.
Sold
Large pearlware arbor group, ‘Perswaision’, showing a stylish couple seated on a garden seat, on a grassy base with a bocage hedge behind, enamelled in bright colours and with touches of copper lustre.
Circa 1815-25.
29.5cm high
restoration to one rear corner, his hat, rim of her hat, flower & leaves in pot; her head restuck; losses to bocage, lacking dog.
The base has originally had feet, but these were removed when one became detached in the kiln – this is evident in the green enamels which have run over the space where it should have been. Examples exist with both short legs and no legs.
Refer Halfpenny “English Earthenware Figures 1740-1840” ACC 1991 p253 for a similar but not identical example.
