Harradine c.1924 Height: 8 3/4 in ROYAL DOULTON STREET VENDORS Itinerant street vendors were rapidly disappearing from Charles Vyse London when Royal Doulton artists began to model Fellow London artist Charles Vyse also venerated London’s figurines romanticizing their bohemian lifestyles and hardy street people with his portraits of the Madonna of the costumes. In the late 19th century it is estimated there Racecourse and Madonna of World’s End Passage, an area were more than 2,000 flower girls at work in Britain’s in Chelsea near Vyse’s pottery studio. During the 1920s, capital city. They bought their stock at Covent Garden, Vyse modeled a series of street vendors, which were the central market for fruit, vegetables and flowers, and slip-cast in very complex molds and accessorized with prepared bunches or button-holes to sell. In the winter, hand-made flowers before being painted by his wife Nell. when fresh cut flowers were not available, the women Each figure was decorated uniquely with different fabric switched to selling lavender, oranges or other trinkets. patterns and colors. His Piccadilly Rose Woman of 1922 is a superb example of their craftsmanship with the basket overflowing with moss roses, fashioned petal by petal. Vyse exhibited his street vendors at the Royal Academy and other major art galleries and his work had a huge influence on Royal Doulton’s HN figurine collection. In the mid-1920s, the Doulton factory started making flowers petal by petal and the intricately detailed blooms were used to accessorize Harradine’s figurines of street vendors. Royal Doulton Street Vendors with Covent Garden background Sweet Lavender Lavender sellers with their babies were the inspiration for Royal Doulton’s first street vendors, the Madonna of the Square and The Lavender Woman. They were modeled by Phoebe Stabler, a London sculptor who sold Royal Doulton the rights to reproduce her work in the new HN series. Launched in 1913, both figures were so popular that they were made in many different colorways for over 30 years. Although modeled from life in the streets of London, the statuesque poses and simplified robes of Phoebe’s Stabler’s subjects are reminiscent of devotional sculptures of the Madonna and Child. Yardley’s Advertisement, 1925 Madonna of the Racecourse, 1926 - 2 - Pascoe & Company The Cries of London ‘sweet China oranges’ as theater refreshments and caught Leslie Harradine began modeling figurines for the HN the eye of King Charles II. Nell became a royal mistress in collection in 1920 and his first street vendor subject 1668 and was still considered a famous beauty in the 1930s was a commission from Yardley’s of London to advertise when Harradine based his figurine on a Players cigarette their lavender products. Ahead of the times, this famous card design. Provocative orange sellers in Restoration era perfume company had adopted as their trademark one London had a reputation for providing sexual favors but few of Francis Wheatley’s Cries of London, a series of 14 enjoyed long term patronage like Nell Gwyn.

Wheatley’s Eliza Doolittle original paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy The rags to riches story of a London street seller occurs in the early 1790s and were engraved many times again in George Bernard Shaw’s popular play Pygmalion over the years. The second cry was ‘Two bunches a of 1912. A professor of phonetics trains a bedraggled penny, primroses’ but Yardley’s swapped the flowers Cockney flower seller to pass for a duchess with lessons for bunches of lavender in their trademark design. in elocution and etiquette. Eliza Doolittle’s charmed life from Covent Garden to elegant garden party also inspired the successful film of My Fair Lady in 1964. However, life for most flower sellers was anything but a ‘bed of roses’. They were out in all weathers trying to sell cut flowers for genteel ladies to arrange at home or button-holes for fine gentlemen to wear. The annual Primrose Day was one of the flower sellers’ most prosperous days as customers would wear primroses to pay tribute to Benjamin Disraeli, the British Prime minister who was a favorite of Queen Victoria. She sent a wreath of primroses to his funeral on April 19th, 1881 and his statue in London continues to be garlanded with flowers on the anniversary of his death. Francis Wheatley engraving of ‘Turnips and Carrots’ Harradine obviously enjoyed Yardley’s commission because he followed it with two more figurines derived from Wheatley’s engravings, London Cry, Strawberries and London Cry, Turnips and Carrots. These 18th century designs tied in with Harradine’s other great interest which was the revival of the Chelsea porcelain figurines. His fascination led to several street vendors in romanticized rural costumes, including Spring Flowers, The Orange Seller and Nell Gwyn. The comic actress began by selling Pascoe & Company - 3 - The Flower Seller’s Children Many of Harradine’s figurines evoke the hard life experienced by women trying to earn a living on the streets of London. His portrayal of The Little Mother was originally titled The Young Widow reflecting her reduced circumstances but the name was considered too sad and quickly changed. Babies and young children often accompanied the flower sellers attracting more sympathetic customers. One of Harradine’s most famous figurines The Flower Seller’s Children was apparently sketched on the cuff of his evening shirt after a night out in London before being modeled in his studio. Illustration by Arthur Rackham from ‘Peter Pan in Buttons and Balloons Kensington Gardens’ London street traders have their own royal families known of Biddy Penny Farthing and the Old Balloon Seller are as pearly kings and queens.

London Pearly Boy Balloons are an iconic feature of the Royal Doulton figurine collection and have made a delightful addition to celebrations and holidays for more than a century. A Victorian London balloon seller was made famous in J. M. Barrie’s story Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, first published in 1906.

  • Companies Referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection
    Companies referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection Note - The following is a list of the companies which can be clearly identified in the CATU archive without any risk of confusion, the evidence coming from headed letter paper or something equally unassailable. This list is for information only. We can not retrieve documents from the collection from this list as the documents are spread throughout the collection in different files and have not been indexed. Many documents in the archive are much less clear cut (hand written notes, surveys etc) and it is not always easy to identify precisely which company is being referred to. One frequent potential source of confusion is that potbanks often had their own names, and these may sometimes look like company names. In practice, potbanks could change hands or be divided between more than one company. List of Companies in alphabetical order A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T V W A Wm.
