A charming piece of flatback Staffordshire Pottery which features a rather unscrupulous-looking Tom King astride a handsome horse, standing on a green mound and an inscribed oblong base. Vent hole to reverse.
Tom king was an infamous highwayman, a partner of Dick Turpin. In 1735, Tom King was accidentally shot and killed by Dick Turpin. This story was frequently dramatized in the Victorian era.
Book reference: Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835-1875 (Book 1), by A & N Harding, page 264, figure 943.
Condition: Very good. No restoration. Minor paint losses to the green mound and the hat. Very slight wear to the gilt strip.
Material: Earthenware
