Mother Goose is portrayed seated side-saddle atop a flying white goose, clutching a traditional besom broom against her shoulder. She wears a tall brimmed steeple hat with red band details, a spotted yellow capelet, green sleeves, and a cream skirt decorated with small hand-painted rose motifs. The large bird beneath her is modelled with outspread wings and an arched neck, elevated on an integral naturalistic mound. Produced in earthenware in the Staffordshire potteries, this decorative figure dates to circa 1890. It is constructed using slip-cast or press-moulded pottery with a glossy clear lead glaze over polychrome underglaze and overglaze enamel colours. The palette combines soft greens, burnt sienna, and warm yellows across the base and costume, while fine black brushstrokes define the facial features and the plumage contours along the goose's neck. The hollow-cast base is shaped as a rounded mound, finished in streaked green and earthy yellow glazes suggestive of tufted grass. Characteristic of late Victorian mantelpiece...

The vase is a striking example of the revival of the magnificent Italian Renaissance decoration of the 16th century.

Studios owned by such ceramicists as Cantagalli, Molaroni, Rubboli, Santarella, and others attempted to duplicate antique lusterware pieces for the general public. Each studio developed their own closely guarded formulation. In 1870s Paolo Rubboli...
