A STAFFORDSHIRE PEARLWARE MODEL OF A DOVECOTE
Incised and dated M.S 1824, attributed to Martha Sherratt, the wife of Obadiah
The roost moulded on the sloping roof and sides with embracing couples and bacchic putti playing instruments within a grape arbour and beneath a pansy, the reverse with Eros and Anteros wrestling beneath a chalice with onlookers cheering at each side, raised on ball and claw feet
10 1/8in. (26cm.) high

專家說明

It has been theorized that this model, overflowing with billing love birds and moulded with emblems of fidelity, was a gift shared between Obadiah and his wife Martha Sherratt.

See Halfpenny, p. 211, for two earthenware flat back figures groups modelled as either an embracing couple or as a pair of wrestling putti. These models directly related to the moulded figures applied to the sides of the present lot.
