Figural Group of a Boy, A Girl and a Dove Staffordshire, England 1800-1830 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Made in Staffordshire between 1800-1830, this figural group of lead-glazed earthenware depicts a boy and a girl with a dove. This early piece of Staffordshire porcelain predates the popular flatbacks and assorted figurines which gave the Staffordshire Porcelain Factory its enduring fame. Despite the fact that much of the enamel is chipped or worn away, we can still see that the modeling is cruder than later works by the concern.
