Early Square Base Allegorical Figures
These fine, early Staffordshire figures date to 1800-1820. The Charity figure, far left, has very fine molding and is in very good condition with just a small chip on the side of the thumb. The woman weeping at the urn is in excellent condition with no damage. Similar figures to these two are recorded in Pat Halfpenny’s English Earthenware Figures. Faith is in very good condition with maybe a minor repair to the cross. I have not found this version of Faith recorded anywhere although similar versions are shown in Myrna Schkolne’s books.
The price is $150 each or $400 for all three, including shipping and insurance.

Samson and the Lion According to Pugh this figure is Samson from the bible in the act of opening a lion's jaw with both hands.

Height: 12 3/4 inches Reference: Pugh (later edition), page E421, plate 97, fig 189 Price: $750 plus shipping and insurance Contact: Sheldon Ferber at sheldonferber@verizon.net |

Othello and Iago
A very finely painted and modelled figure of Othello and Iago. The source of this figure is an engraving of watercolour by S A Hart R A which appeared in the National Magazine in 1858.
