Lot Essay

John Parish White (1855-1917), took over the Pyghtle Works in Bedford in 1896, producing an extensive range of garden ornaments in lead, marble, bronze, stone and terracotta. White illustrates four similar figures to the present lot in his 1935 catalogue Bird Baths, Garden Figure, Vases and Ornaments.
