DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Cream earthenware, press-moulded and modelled, and decorated with brown, blue, and clear lead-glazes. Figure group comprising a square double tier pulpit; at the top, an elderly sleeping vicar with his head resting on his left hand; at the bottom, a younger speaking clerk with his left hand raised in benediction. Each  figure has his right hand draped over the lectern on the front of his pulpit, on which rests an open bible.   The pulpit is slab-built as an open vessel, into which the moulded figures have been put. On each of the four front corners below the lecterns, it has a winged cherub's head in relief. The modelling of the figures is very fine, showing the folds of the clothing, the finger nails, the ringlets of the vicar’s wig and the clerk’s buttons. The vicar wears a wig and clerical dress. The clerk has a blue jacket and the pulpit is mid brown, hands and faces are pale pinkish brown, other parts are white. ‘THE VICAR / AND MOSES’ is impressed on the front of the lower pulpit. The underside is flat and unglazed.
object type: Earthenware figure group, moulded and modelled in several parts, decorated with brown, blue and clear lead glazes.
