Victorian Staffordshire figurine of a man holding up a scrolled parchment. Made England mid to late 19th century. Measures a little over 8 inches high. Wonderfully modelled gentleman strides onto a rocky outcrop, naturalistic-looking and painted in earthy outdoors tones in big bold patches of colour. With one hand he holds aloft a scrolled document, while he looks over the other shoulder as though making a major proclamation or calling upon a crowd to hear him out. Very fine garments, beautifully hand painted with fine detail. The man might be a nobleman or an actor portraying one - possibly King John holding up the Magna Carta. Blue cloak swirls behind him, adding to the sense of movement. The vigorous action is complemented by the strong features on the unusually finely painted and modelled face. Beautifully modelled features with exceptional painting of brows, eyes, mouth and even moustache. Most of the figurine is in excellent condition, but very close observation shows a small chip on the left-hand cuff, where the hand appears to have been rejoined.

Additional decoration in the form of delicate painting an exotic bird / peacock sits amidst a variety of branches, foliage, flowers and berries. Very delicate painting and range of blue tones.

Exceptional Toby jug character in blue and white Delft. Almost certainly made in the Netherlands. Signed TSL and dated 1750. approx 10 1/4inches high. Sits on round base. Boots, rolled/cuffed pants, a waist jacket under his coat and a nifty little tie over buttoned shirt. In one hand he holds a sack or bag of money, while another is tucked under his right boot.

Underneath, the piece is signed TSL and dated 1750. Condition can only be considered very good considering the age of the piece. There are a number of places (clearly shown in the ''photos), where the glaze has been worn off the porous ceramic, but there are no actual chips/cracks/restorations.
