Prattware Models of Cows with Figures, Yorkshire, 1810-20

Prattware Models of Cows with Figures.

Yorkshire.

1810-20.

The Prattware pearlware unusually coloured cows are decorated with typical Prattware underglaze colours but here, unusually, also with blue and yellow splotches. 

One cow with a male attendant and the other with a female figure.  She with a calf at her feet and he with a small dog at his feet which looks like a tiny lion!

The female figure holds a watering can in her left hand and a basket of flowers under her right arm. The man stands nonchalantly with his left hand held under his chin and the left arm resting on the handle of a spade held in his right hand.  The base sponged in blue, black, yellow blue and green.

Height: 5 7/8 inches 6 1/2 inches x 3 1/8 inches deep.

Provenance: Collection of Abby Rockefeller Mauzé.

Reference:  "Prattware 1780-1840: English and Scottish Relief Decorated and Underglaze Earthenware" by John and Griselda Lewis page 87 for several examples.

Condition: Condition is very good with slight loss to tip of the right ear of each cow and front tip of her bonnet.
