English Pottery Lead-glazed Earthenware Figure of St. George and the Dragon
Located in Downingtown, PA
English Pottery Tortoise-shell Creamware Figure of St. George Fighting the Dragon,
Staffordshire,
Possibly modelled by Enoch and Ralph Wood,
Late 18th Century.
The earthenware figure depicts St. George and the Dragon. St. George is on horseback with a spear in hand in green and yellow glazes as is the dragon. The base and horse in a mottled tortoise-shell brown glaze. The saint is wearing full armour and modelled seated astride his rearing horse, the dragon writhing on the ground beneath, on an oval rocky mound base. The figure is after a 17th century Francesco Fanelli (active 1608–1661) bronze, about 1635-see below.
Provenance: Heisel Collection (Paper label)
