Significant scale Staffordshire pottery pearlware trio figure group – stand with removable figures of a stag and doe c1820

Dated: 1820 Staffordshire The Potteries England

A rare and highly decorative large-scale Staffordshire pearlware tree-trunk figure group. The composition features a finely modelled doe and stag with leafy bocage, each removable and set on an expansive naturalistic base that also includes a lamb. The base is moulded with shaped insets to hold the figures securely, reflecting careful original design. At 16 inches long, figure groups of this scale and complexity are exceptionally scarce, particularly in such complete and well-preserved condition.

Attributed to the Enoch Wood Pottery.
