Pearlware Lady Reading Figurine

This is a superb figural spillvase or maybe even normal vase made in the Staffordshire region around 1800. Not sure who exactly made this piece but it is of top quality - much nicer than most. The piece is made of pearlware and depicts a lady sitting by a treetrunk reading a book. Nice florald ress with a grassy rock base. The tree trunk has a large top hole as well as 4 smaller side holes which I have not seen before so it might be used as a real vase instead of just a spillvase. Superbly modeled and painted. The figurine is about 7.375 inches tall, 6.75 inches wide and 4.25 inches deep. The piece is in great condition with no real damage. It has a spot of glaze flaking on her left hand, 2 spots on her dress, one tiny one in her hair and a few on the base / vase part though most are in the back. So all in all in top shape for this kind of piece. It seems to be marked though I cannot make much of it - there is an impressed circle on the base rim and a yellow number 41 or something along those lines. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
