A Staffordshire Figure of a Fortune Teller - circa 1855
Thought to be from an as yet unidentified Theatre Production..
There are several similar figures featuring this similar scene
and this is the most colourful and attractive version,
which made it a popular figure.
This example really is superb.
If you look at the modelling, it really is really crisp
and this must have been one of the first from the mould'.
The range and quality of the colouring
is also the best of any example I have seen of this figure.
It is in very good condition.
There is no restoration.
Height: 11.5 inches
