A pair of Vauxhall figures of a gallant and his companion, c.1756-60, each raised on tall scrolled bases picked out in green and puce, holding a stick and playing with a small dog, small restorations, 20.5cm max. (2)

Provenance: the John Buckingham Collection.

These figures were previously (but loosely) attributed to Longton Hall and have been reassigned to Vauxhall in the last 20 years. Cf. Transactions of the English Ceramic Circle, Volume 25, 2014, Roger Massey 'Vauxhall Figures' for a full discussion on this class of figure.
