A Staffordshire figure group of musicians/lovers, circa 1850, arboreal scene modelled as a pair of lovers with sheet music and a violin, leaning against the spill vase stylised as a hollow tree in which a man hides and spies, mounted on a naturalistic ovoid, gilt-lined base with additions of grassy clay 'tufts', height 30cm, together with a figure group of seated lovers with musical instruments on a naturalistic green base, polychrome enamel painted, 25cm high (2). Note: the arboreal figure group possibly represents Sheridan's 1775 play The Rivals.
