Antique English pottery "Cobble" boat model circa 1835/40 period

Reference: 3224

Dated: c. 1835 to 1840 England

A rare pottery model of a "cobble" a boat used on the East Coast of England.
This piece is the largest pottery model I have seen.
Reputedly these models all differently coloured were hung in the window of fishermans cottages, their boat could be recognized by customers who may wish to rent having seen the vessel in the harbor.
This is a particularly naive piece adding a unique folk art aspect.

Dimensions: 12.00 inch high
