The Stoke on Trent firm of Robinson and Leadbeater, who specialised in Parian wares, produced a large series of small busts of famous people during the last quarter of the Nineteenth Century. We have recently acquired a nice group of these - a group photo shown here (the figures are being offered for sale individually). These often represent good quality and well-detailed portraits of contemporary figures.
The group photo shows, from left to right:
Back row:
Richard Wagner SOLD
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart SOLD
Ignacy Jan Paderewski SOLD
Felix Mendelssohn SOLD
Middle row:
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe SOLD
Alfred, Lord Tennyson SOLD
William Shakespeare SOLD
Robert Burns SOLD
Hermes SOLD
Front row:
Jesus Christ SOLD
Virgin Mary SOLD
Gladstone SOLD
Disraeli SOLD
All are marked 'R&L' in an oval cartouche on the reverse. All are in good condition, with just minor faults to two as indicated above.
