A Staffordshire Figure of a Leopard - circa 1845
One of the finest Staffordshire animal figure produced.
Our Potters made huge numbers of animals,
these walking Leopard figures
stand out in any Staffordshire menagerie.
This example is a beauty.
The yellow can be quite dull on these figures,
but all the enamels are excellent,
as is the overglaze tourqoise
on the base
The face is particularly lovely.
In fine condition,
with good
minor restoration to the ears.
Height: 7.5 inches, Length 8 inches
