Terracotta Doulton Lambeth Seated Putti Master Salt
By George Tinworth, 1879

Double putti seated on pedestals above cobalt glazed oval bowl
Bowl and pedestals are highly decorated
Artist marks include George Tinworth assisted by Alice Budden and Bertha Evans, as well as a Doulton Lambeth mark and a year of 1879.
The piece is as made, with no signs of damage, cracks or chips. Only visible flaw is the loss of a single bead and is visible in most of the photos. There is an as-made glaze separation that can be seen under the feet of one of the putti about 1/2\" long. This is not a crack or time related damage, and can be seen in the photos.
