Description
An early Staffordshire pearlware figure of St. Luke stood in front of a bocage with an ox lying at his feet as he reads from the Bible. Painted in lovely bright enamels. Attributed to Ralph Salt; the branded plaque is missing from the reverse or it may been predominantly absorbed into the body as the edges of the spot for it are marked and there may be the trace of some lettering towards the far edge.
Reference: https://www.earlystaffordshirefigures.com/8-ralph-salt.html owned by Myrna Schkolne (scroll about half way down the page for another example).

declaration
The Fancy Fox has clarified that the Staffordshire Ralph Salt Pearlware Pottery Figure St. Luke c.1820 (LA511055) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1820
condition
In excellent condition: it is missing the tip of the ox's left ear and just some very minor losses to some of the tips of the bocage. No other damage, repair or restoration and very minor handling wear. The "St. Luke" on the front hasn't been picked out in enamel as it should and the latter part has sunk a bit into the clay.
