A delightful, unusual and well modelled Staffordshire spill vase depicting a zebra pursued over a stream by a fox.
The zebra’s front left leg is independently modelled, as are the head and neck of the fox. The dramatic scene takes place over a river and bridge which are modelled into the naturalistic base.
The figure is beautifully coloured and the zebra’s stripes are clear and natural. It is in good condition - the only flaw being that the fox’s left ear (improperly modelled at production) has some superficial nibbles.
Reference: A. & N. Harding, Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835 - 1875: Second Addendum, p. 328, fig. 3128
Height: 8.25”
Date: c. 1860
