| References | THis figure was originally produced in the early 19th century; however, this example has several indications of a later production - heavy body, blue tinge to glaze, unusual colour palette, and the scrolls to the base. In Halfpenny’s ‘English Earthenware Figures’ p 284 he illustrates a page from a 1955 William Kent catalogue, which clearly shows this exact figure in production. |
