About the Item
English pottery model of a lion,
Whieldon-type creamware tortoise-shell glaze,
circa 1765-1785
The English pottery model of a seated lion with a Whieldon-type creamware tortoise-shell glaze over an agate & redware body has a hollow interior.
The interior with a red clay body and cream. One can speculate that the original intention was to create an agate body but the result was inconsistent and the piece was then dipped in a lead-glaze and sponged to create the Whieldon-type tortoise-shell exterior glaze.
Dimensions: 7 3/4 inches high x 6 inches wide x 4 3/4 inches deep
Provenance: Carter collection- paper label and collection no. 615; Mrs. Russell S. Carter gave a part of her collection of English pottery to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. "A keen and discriminating collector, Mrs. Carter has succeeded in "bagging" a surprising number of exceptional pieces. Many of these were shown in important exhibitions in England in the past and were prized items in such well-known English collections as the Lomax, Sheldon, Clements, Griffith, Elliot, and Revelstoke. The Carter collection of one hundred and eighty pieces spans a wide range."
Brooke collection, #54- paper label.
