Description
My instinct tells me that this figurine would most likely date to the beginning of the 1800s circa 1810, she is glazed with three of the typical colours of Prattware pottery which were derived from metal oxides to withstand the necessary high heat of the glazing firing, yellow, blue and brown. Her form is very simple, both she and the round base she stands on are hollow, the base has sponge decoration around its edge, and her hands and arms are covered by her yellow cape edged in blue, which would certainly have made the mould easier and cheaper to make but I think her face is beautifully moulded. And the painting of her face exudes charm with her little eyebrows high upon her brow and what possibly be described as somewhat slap dash painting where the blue glaze from the edge of her cape has touched her face on one side, almost giving the impression of tears falling down her face.

declaration
The Three MusCATeers has clarified that the Early 1800s Prattware Figurine of Girl in a Splendid Yellow Cape (LA488690) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1810
condition
She is in very good condition with no chips or cracks that I can see. There are some flaws in the yellow glaze of her cape on one side. And of cause we have the blue glaze which has touched her face. And I also want to mention that in the close up photo of her face her nose appears somewhat rough in texture which undeniably it must be but I do not see it by eye.
