A charming and rare little figure depicting Napoleon Bonaparte standing by the distant ship HMS Bellerophon in full rig, aboard which he would surrender in 1815.
This figure pairs with a figure of Nelson and HMS Victory.
Examples of this figure are recorded with the Bellerophon made from a separate press mould, but this version uses only one mould.
This figure is in excellent original condition with some light flaking. A previous owner’s collection label has been left in situ but can be easily removed.
Pugh records this figure but has only photographed the Nelson and Victory figure, describing both as rare.
Reference: P. D. Gordon Pugh, Staffordshire Portrait Figures, p. C 256, pl. 10, fig. 10 (not photographed)
Height: 5.75”
Date: 1840s
