Figure

An earthenware figure representing Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805). He stands on a plain, white, hollow, base, an anchor shown in relief and painted to his right, his left hand resting on a sword also painted on to a solid base. The details on the blue coat are picked out in gold and the figure wears green breeches, a pink sash and a blue hat. It is likely to form a set with Wellington and Napoleon.
