Stag with Bocage
Factory: Wood, Enoch
Pale cream earthenware with lead-glaze tinted very slightly blue
Pale cream earthenware, press-moulded, with applied bocage, covered with lead-glaze tinted very slightly blue. The stag is supported on a roughly oblong base with slightly wavy sides which has a small tree with bocage at the back; the underside is deeply concave and has a ventilation split under the figure. The recumbent stag (lacking its antlers) is orientated to the viewer's left with its head turned towards the front. Its left foreleg is extended and its left bent up. The tree is covered with applied serrated leaves and five-petalled flowers.
History note: Found with other figures and fragments beneath the pavement on the south side of Burslem old Town Hall (oposite the Leopard Inn) during Mr Bemrose's excavation in April 1938; exchanged with other fragments for a copy of Rackham's Catalogue of the Glaisher Collection, 1935.
