Written
by two keen collectors, this book has become a classic. It
assembles "natural family" of figures on the basis
of the use of common features which can all be linked back
to the table based figures which are associated (rightly or
wrongly) with the name of Obadiah Sherratt.

base the pair on the right with a feather base.

This

The
book is perhaps unique in clearly showing how a logical "natural
history" methodology can help us identify groups of Staffordshire
figures, helping us place them as likely products of an individual
factory.
