The figure stands on an approximately oval base with a scrolled edge. The underside is concave and has a support running from left to right down the middle. Oceanus stands on his left leg with his right leg advanced. He has his right hand on his hip, and his left arm outstretched in a commanding pose. His head is tilted back slightly and he looks to his left towards the viewer. He has grey hair and beard, black eyes and brows, pink cheeks, and red lips. His silvered cap is trimmed with green ribbon sea weed. He wears a tunic which leaves his right upper torso bare, and is longer at the back than at the front where it is above his knees. The tunic is silvered, and on the upper edge has a pale green turn back bound with a double rope of pearls, and on the lower edges is decorated with applied green 'moss' and five mauve shells.His left arm is covered by a silver sleeve trimmed with 'moss' which is held on by a garland of seaweed passing across his naked chest to his left hip. A long green cloak lined with pink and edged with 'moss' is draped over his left arm and extends over the base behind him. Round both legs he has garters of green weed with a black shell and a semi-circle of pearls on the front. The top of the base is strewn with moss, sea weed, one black shell and two pink shells, and the scrolls are picked out in gold.EC.51-19431accession numberEC.51-1943140439priref140439urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/140439https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/140439on baseincisedN 2 N or N Z Nincised markCT in monogram with a dot below, under a crownon basepainted underglaze bluefactory markhalf of a rectangular label with cut corners and a blue line round all but one sideon the basehand-written in black ink5029b/Coloured Frank/enthal figure of/Oceanus/b. in London/May 14 1917/one of a pairlabelcircular white paper label printed with a black border with the name reserved in white, and inscribed in the centre with the provenanceon baseprinted in black and hand-written in black inkFRANCES L.

He married his sister Thetis or Tethys, and their progeny were the rivers and the nymphs of land and water.This figure of Oceanus was probably derived from a design for a ballet costume by René Louis Boquet (1717-1914), probably for La victoire de Neptune, created at Stuttgart in 1763.referenceterm-120902adlib-term-1209027ad5748a-4503-39c2-9b0e-6460b249452418th Century, third quarterreferenceterm-110405adlib-term-110405e0c17e93-af3a-3483-9060-9e78edf0a584literalGermanyGermanycountryliteralThe PalatinateThe Palatinateregionnear MannheimFrankenthalreferenceterm-32652adlib-term-3265282d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7beglazereferenceterm-37627adlib-term-37627254febfe-0021-3e45-89a7-d57ba40044c7hard-paste porcelainHeightcm27.8Widthcm19.9referencemedia-115365adlib-media-11536518bf6e2c-0aec-3241-b7bc-283649d06ac7jpegaa/aa20/EC_51_1943.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels53916162429277761imagejpegaa/aa20/mid_EC_51_1943.jpg1heightpixels705widthpixels50016162429277761imagejpegaa/aa20/EC_51_1943.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels53916162429277761imagejpegaa/aa20/preview_EC_51_1943.jpg1heightpixels353widthpixels25016162429277761image0media
