Vintage Faience Pottery Winston Churchill Pig Figure Sculpture Cigar & Hat

This is a wonderfully quirky and highly decorative vintage Faience Pottery Figure of a Pig, believed to have been modelled as a humorous caricature of Sir Winston Churchill. The wonderfully characterful seated pig is portrayed with several of the instantly recognisable attributes associated with Britain's famous wartime Prime Minister, including his broad-brimmed hat, blue neckwear and, most notably, his ever-present cigar. The figure has been beautifully modelled with an amusing, almost defiant expression, raised snout, large ears and wonderfully rotund body, complete with a small curled tail to the rear. Finished in a particularly attractive turquoise-green glaze, the figure is further embellished with deep cobalt-blue detailing to the hat band and bow tie/scarf, together with cream and gilt-coloured highlights to the hat, trotters, ears, snout and cigar. The combination of the rich glaze, deliberately exaggerated features and humorous subject gives the piece enormous decorative appeal. Standing an impressive 26.6 cm in height, this is considerably larger and more imposing than many pottery character figures and makes a superb display piece.
