18th Century Ralph Wood Type Pearlware Lion and Lioness Figures
18th Century Ralph Wood Type Pearlware Lion and Lioness Figures

18th Century Ralph Wood Type Pearlware Lion and Lioness Figures

By Ralph Wood Pottery

Located in Downingtown, PA

Regal Guardians: A True Pair of Ralph Wood Type Pearlware Lions 1780-1800 This magnificent true pair of pearlware pottery figures—a majestic lion and its powerful lioness—exemplifies the high-quality decorative output of late 18th-century Staffordshire potteries in the manner of the celebrated Ralph Wood workshops. Displayed facing one another, these figures exude a regal yet charmingly naive presence typical of the period's finest folk-art ceramics. Each animal is masterfully modeled standing proudly on a slightly domed hollow base rendered in dynamic mottled green and brown glazes representing a grassy mound. The figures themselves are enriched with naturalistic brown glazes that flow and pool in the crevices of the modeling, dramatically highlighting the deeply textured mane of the male lion and emphasizing the sleek musculature of the lioness. The use of pearlware—a refinement of creamware with a whiter body and subtle blue tint to the glaze—indicates these were superior quality objects intended for prominent display. Dimensions 5 3/8 inches (13.65 cm) High 5 3/4 inches (14.61 cm) Long Provenance Produced in Staffordshire, England, circa 1780–1800. Historical Context Figures of lions and lionesses were enormously popular in 18th and 19th-century English pottery, serving as potent symbols of British national pride, strength, and imperial power. The Ralph Wood family of potters, working in Burslem, Staffordshire, were particularly renowned for their vibrant glazed figures, which are prized today for their distinctive aesthetic appeal and expressive modeling. The Ralph Wood pottery...
