The tops of the trunk and its two branches are open, forming the spill vase. In the hollow of the tree, a boy sits playing a pipe, his right leg crossed over his left and his hat hung beside him on the trunk. Two lambs sit at the boy’s feet. Behind each deer is a leafy tree with flowers. The scene is painted in bright coloured enamels: the trunks green and brown with yellow interior streaked with brown; the leaves green with blue and yellow flowers; the deer white and buff with spots on the white portion; the lambs white with orange-brown patches; and the boy in flowered shirt, brown waistcoat and blue trousers. It stands on a wide mounded base which is painted green and brown and decorated with applied leaves and flowers, as if fallen from the bocage, and scattered green clumps. The back is flattened, but fully shaped and decorated. The underside of the base is recessed slightly under each deer and glazed inside a narrow foot-rim.C.947A-19281accession numberC.947A-192876427priref76427191019101910old object number3216urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/76427https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/76427referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumDr J.W.L.

A cheaper alternative to porcelain figures, they were generally produced by small potteries and very few are marked. Classical or literary subjects might be copied from porcelain examples, but scenes from everyday life and topical events were also increasingly popular. These early groups are often complex, with modelled and moulded parts and applied decoration; the backs, though flat, are decorated. As demand increased, processes were streamlined to allow cheaper mass production and by the mid 1830s the earlier methods had largely given way to three-part press-moulding.Spill vases were made to hold tightly rolled scraps of newspaper used to light the fire, as matches were expensive.This is one of two similarly styled spill vases in the Fitzwilliam collection, one with deer and the other with cows. Similar features such as the overlapping oak leaf bocage, the modelling of the trunk and the boy piper and the construction of the base suggest they may have been made by the same pottery. According to Rackham, this might be John Walton of Burslem, who is often associated with bocage figure groups. However we now know that several potters made figure groups in this style, often copying designs and other features.referenceterm-106498adlib-term-106498272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d619th Century, Early#referenceterm-108171adlib-term-108171c943fe08-bd72-32ab-823c-e1eeb56717b3literalEnglandEnglandcountryliteralStaffordshireStaffordshireregionBurslemwhitereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareHeightcm25.4Widthcm37.5referencemedia-169146adlib-media-169146b2b81634-204f-394c-86e5-cba2db752319jpegaa/aa27/C_947A_1928_1_201203_mdb56_mas.jpg1heightpixels581widthpixels76016162731987691imagejpegaa/aa27/mid_C_947A_1928_1_201203_mdb56_mas.jpg1heightpixels382widthpixels50016162731987691imagejpegaa/aa27/C_947A_1928_1_201203_mdb56_mas.jpg1heightpixels581widthpixels76016162731987691imagejpegaa/aa27/preview_C_947A_1928_1_201203_mdb56_mas.jpg1heightpixels191widthpixels25016162731987691image0media
