Staffordshire Figures 1810-1835 at The Mint Museums |

Death of Munrow, circa 1810-1835, Earthenware, Collection of Myrna and Benzion Schkolne. Unknown English Pottery.

CHARLOTTE, NC.- The Mint Museums presents the exhibit Mirth and Mayhem Staffordshire Figures 1810-1835 through April 29, 2007. Around 1810, Staffordshire's figure potters discarded classical design influences and instead looked at their surroundings for inspiration. In the next 25 years, they potted remarkably detailed clay vignettes of everyday life that divulge a wealth of astonishing information about life in those days. Delving into the events depicted in even seemingly mundane Staffordshire figures of this period never fails to surprise, as each tells an amazing story. In most cases, the identity of the individual potters is unknown. Most of the figures were made by small potteries. This exhibition is from the private collection of Myrna and Benzion Schkolne from Winston-Salem, and continues the story of one phase of English pottery into the nineteenth century.
