A charming Staffordshire figure depicting St Joseph - the husband of Mary - holding the infant Christ.
This simple but impactful figure features Joseph fully clothed in white with gilt details. Christ is partly swaddled in white cloth and holds a rod of flowers in his hand. The figure is titled ‘St Joseph’ in elegant gilt script.
The figure is in good condition but for a small firing crack beneath one of Joseph’s eyes and some flaking to the brown hair of the two figures.
A similarly posed but colourful figure of exceptional quality and rarity is recorded by Stephen Duckworth.
Reference: Stephen Duckworth, Victorian Staffordshire Pottery Religious Figure, p. 108, fig. B.13
Height: 11”
Date: c. 1860s
Provenance: The Stephen Duckworth Collection / Oliver-Sutton Antiques
