GOOD QUALITY ENGLISH PEARLWARE RALPH WOOD STYLE ANTIQUE POTTERY STAFFORDSHIRE MUSICIANS FIGURE GROUP C.1795-1810
"This fabulous piece of antique English Staffordshire pottery is one of the finest examples of an early Staffordshire pearlware figure group we have offered online for some time. Musicians is a good quality early - circa 1795-1810, Staffordshire pottery figure group of a couple on a typical stylized grassy knoll. She is seated with a mandolin and he standing playing a penny whistle, the whole on a characteristic hollow raised plinth base. A quality transitional piece decorated with bright semi-opaque overglaze enamel colours. Stylistically this unmarked piece resembles and is influenced by the work of the Ralph Wood family of Staffordshire potters. One for the connoisseur and only the best and most discerning collectors of best antique English pottery and antiques!" Antiques Expert Hamilton Bear.


Dimensions: height 182 mm max. width 100 mm max.
Marks: none.
Condition: Very good. As with most antique pottery figures some restoration is to be expected. Here the outstretched hand/arm of  the penny whistle player has been restored. This appears to be the extent of any large area of restoration. This does not spoil the aesthetic qualities of the piece from any conventional display/viewing angle
