Maker: Unattributed Maker  Pattern: Willow blue with colour

One part of a cruet set, usually attributed to one of the potteries at Prestonpan in Scotland, but also produced elsewhere and later versions were made. This chappie is an original from the 19th Century and he has had a life!
He has a removable hat, which has been in two bits and restuck. About 1/3 is missing and this affects the back as well as part of the crown of the hat, visible in the photograph. Two chips to the rim of the hat. The man himself is remarkably unscathed, with only a hairline running down from his head to the left of his face and some tiny nicks to the foot rim of the skirt to his base. On the right height shelf he could look almost perfect.
No maker's backstamp.
