3/7/2010 0 Comments Plaque with moulded cherubimMyrna Schkolne, author of People, Passions, Pastimes, and Pleasures: Staffordshire Figures 1810–1835, has provided this image of a rare plaque with moulded cherubim, from her collection. I've seen several pink/red and green versions, but, until now, never a yellow one. I've posted it with two other examples on the Brightly coloured religious plaques sub-page. Myrna has a fantastic website (www.mystaffordshirefigures.com), which is well worth visiting, even if early Staffordshire figures aren't usually your thing. The preoccupations of the Staffordshire potters were similar to those of the potters of the North East, and Myrna has provided a wealth of information on many of their subjects.
