Dated: 1820 Staffordshire England
The red and white cows are modeled standing against oak leaf-shaped bocage on rare "rainbow colored" bases. Obadiah Sherratt of Staffordshire made these highly decorative pairs in the early 19th century. An appealing and comical feature is the snake shown attacking the cow's hind leg. The cow seems unperturbed by the event lifting the leg out of reach whilst looking calmly down at the intruder.
Dimensions: 7.75 inches high
Current Condition: Left-hand figure with professional restoration executed by the ceramics conservators to the Royal family.
Literature: Page 50 Volume 3, Staffordshire Figures 1780-1840 by Myrna Schkolne published by Schiffer.
