Antique Rockingham Glaze Lion

Description

Early 19th century English stoneware lion featuring a rich Rockingham, or treacle, glaze with deep tonal variation and strong sculptural presence. The reclining form and expressive modeling reflect traditional English decorative ceramics of the period, making it a distinctive accent suited to traditional interiors or collected ceramic displays. Unsigned, made circa 1850. Filled with a cement like substance to make it heavier. Suitable for light use as a doorstop or to hold open a window.
