  • ANTIQUE PORCELAIN FIGURES: Derby Figures, Bow Figure, Staffordshire Figures

    Thursday, January 7th, 2010

    ANTIQUE PORCELAIN FIGURES: Derby Figures, Bow Figure, Staffordshire Figures

    A rare Bow Figure of a Thames
    waterman, 1753—55, standing in
    brown-trimmed yellow cap and coat over
    floral waistcoat, his head turned to
    sinister, his left arm outstretched before
    a tree-stump, on a floral painted base,
    cap chipped, left hand restored, 20cm.;

    Until the construction of Westminster Bridge in 1750 the only two means of crossing the Thames on foot had been by London Bridge and at Kingston. To cross in the intervening gap

    one would have to use the horse-ferry or one of the many Thames watermen, their numbers presumably remained much the same since the time of Pepys when about 4,000 were recorded.

    Pepys allowed a regular waterman of his to grace his boat with his own coat-of-arms. Is it possible that such a ‘by appointment’ badge accounts for the coat-of-arms on the

    waterman’s arm which differs from a similar figure illustrated by Elizabeth Adams and David Redstone, Bow Porcelain, plate 127. Although heraldically incorrect the present

    figure’s badge is perhaps intended as the seal of the Navy Office.

    A near Pair of Bow Figures, circa
    1760, he wearing a pale-puce jacket and
    knee-length breeches, finely enameled

    an open trinket box and wearing a short
    red and green tunic over her purple
    robe and yellow skirt, both on typical

    fielding, his arm glued, chips to both, approx.
    3cm.;

    Continents, late 18th Century, ‘Africa’ of
