Sleeping Vicar Figurine

This is a creamware or pearlware (can't quite tell but there is a slightly blue tinge to the glaze) figurine of vicar sleeping in his pulpit while another person is giving his sermon below him. The figure is nicely done with each of the preachers having a book in front of them with a little raised angel to the front of the pulpit though it is hard to see since it is the same color as the rest of it. Typical piece made in the Staffordshire region in the 19th century. Also title Vicor and Moses sometimes just like the drunken vicar figurine I also have up on the site. Apparently I am starting a theme :) The figure is about 9.625 inches tall, 4 inches wide and 5.25 inches deep. The piece is in superb condition with just some crazing to the glaze in spots and some manufacturing flaws like paint in wrong spots or missing in a spot and a few rough areas to the paste and a discolored or firing spot here and there. All from when it was made and nothing that distracts from the piece. Unmarked unless that brown L is meant to be a mark underneath but unmarked pieces are normal from this region and time period! Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $249
