STAFFORDSHIRE BONE CHINA 21.5cm CHARACTER FIGURINE "THE POT SELLER" By Mr Arthur Bowker. (Extremely Rare).
(Arthur Bowker was the son of a miner, born in 1909. He gained a scholarship for the local grammar school but left at 14years old, to contribute to the family purse. He resisted mining as a career and followed his dream of producing something beautiful amidst his depressing background. He was apprenticed to E. W. Brain & Co (Foley China) and developed his talents as an artist. This was followed by time spent at Salisbury Crown China. In 1948, he took the gamble of going alone and began Arthur Bowker, Staffordshire Fine Bone China. In a single room in Longton, he began producing miniature items, jugs, kettles, simple brooches and then Figurines. One of the earliest, a small crinoline lady, was named Christine, after his only daughter. He gradually expanded and moved to King Street, Fenton. A wide range of decorative china was begun. This included figurines of ladies; memorabilia (especially for the Coronation of Elizabeth 2nd); china flower posies; character figures; various animals; dogs; birds and many other designs.)
