| TITHE PIG GROUP, c.1800 |
£145 |
The story behind this group is familiar: the farmer and his wife are offering much resented tithes to the vicar: one-tenth of all their produce, including their tenth child.
Condition just one hand on the wife missing
This pearlware pottery figure group produced at the turn of the century was inspired inspired by a humorous mid-eighteenth-century engraving by Louis Peter Boitard. |
