Staffordshire pottery pearlware figure group known as "Persuasion" c1820

Reference: 4333

Dated: c. 1820 Staffordshire England

This figure is known as PERSUASION and would have been produced at the beginning of the 19th century in Staffordshire.
The rather demure female figure is rather contently thinking about the wonderful offer her partner has made to her as he proffers a gold ring.
A rather whimsical dog looks adoringly and coyly at his mistress almost beseeching her to say yes.
The figures are very well modelled and coloured as is usually the case with this very appealing figure from The Patriotic Group pottery.
